In Indiana in 2024—42,710 people are expected to be diagnosed with cancer and 14,280 are expected to lose their lives to cancer. Hoosiers Outrun Cancer raises funds for Cancer Support Community (CSC) programs—providing free support to ANYONE impacted by cancer. A few examples of how CSC helps families in our community are: counseling & support groups, nutrition & exercise classes, oncology massage therapy, reiki, cancer education, social connections, food & transportation assistance, wigs, comfort kits, and so much more.
Raising money to support this cause is important to Team OVERCOMER because... In September 2021 I went in for a routine mammogram and walked out with news I never imagined. I had breast cancer. I would need biopsies to confirm, but the radiologist was pretty confident in the diagnosis. Cancer was something that happened to other people, not me…until it did. I very quickly learned cancer is NOT prejudice. So many (too many) people are affected each year. Please join me in this journey to support Hoosiers getting the support and resources they need.
