National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship

Join Team NCCS in the Revlon Run/Walk for Women

Revlon run/walkGet your walking shoes on, do a few stretches, and gather your family and best friends - cancer survivors need you! Join the NCCS team and pound the pavement to honor and celebrate people affected by cancer. On Saturday, May 2, thousands of people will come together in New York City for the Revlon Run/Walk for Women to raise awareness about the disease and funds to help survivors.

It’s all hands on deck in New York City. To help us make this event a roaring success you can:
