What is Walk for Hope?
Walk for Hope is more than a walk—it's a national movement powered by local action. At City of Hope's beautiful Los Angeles campus, thousands of participants walk a 2K or 5K route to raise funds and awareness for women's cancers and other research priorities at one of the nation's top cancer centers. Your support accelerates the fight against cancer, ensuring patients receive the best care and that new treatments reach those in need faster.
Since inception, Walk for Hope has raised nearly $50 million, helping City of Hope develop innovative treatments and expand access to life-saving care.
