Why We Run
Why We Run: A Mission of Hope, Health, and Community with Thompson Cancer Survival Center
Since 1994, the Thompson Cancer Survival Center Foundation has been a beacon of hope—empowering life-saving care, groundbreaking research, and compassionate support for patients and families across our region. Thanks to the generosity of individuals, businesses, and community partners, we continue to ensure that no one faces cancer alone.
Your participation in the annual Race Against Cancer fuels:
🧬 Access to cutting-edge treatments and clinical trials
🔬 Investment in advanced technology and early detection services
📚 Education and outreach to promote prevention and awareness
📘 Personalized guidance and support from oncology nurse navigators to help understand tests, procedures, and coordinate care
❤️ Direct patient support—regardless of ability to pay
Every donation makes a difference. Whether it's funding a new piece of equipment, supporting a family in crisis, or helping a patient access care, your contribution brings healing and hope where it's needed most.
A portion of the 2025 Thompson Race Against Cancer proceeds will establish the Bill Williams Excellence Endowment to benefit the patients cared for at Covenant Health’s Thompson Cancer Survival Center. We are proud to honor Bill’s legacy of support for this event and his dedication to the fight against cancer.
