Please join us for our 6th year of participating in this amazing event to raise money and awareness for childhood cancer. We are walking in honor of Garrett who was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in 2017 at the age of 7. He is now 14 and has been off of treatment for 3 and a half years.
Participating in this event allows our family to give back to an organization that helped us through our darkest days.
If you're unable to walk with us on September 14th, please consider making a donation in Garrett's honor. No amount is too small. All money raised helps local children in the Lehigh Valley that are battling cancer.

PCFLV is a 501c(3) non-profit foundation dedicated to helping children and families in the greater Lehigh Valley affected by pediatric cancer by providing free and unique programming and support during treatment, survivorship, and bereavement. They are focused on creating a loving and supportive cancer community for families whose lives have been forever changed by hearing the words, "Your child has cancer." They host events and activities to create free-of-charge opportunities for families to have fun and to find nurturing support within the pediatric cancer community. They have regular, ongoing programming like the KidKonnect program and monthly Moms’ /Dads'/Parents' Nights Out, as well as much-loved annual events like Camp Smile. PCFLV makes monthly visits to the inpatient pediatric floor and the outpatient pediatric oncology clinic at Lehigh Valley Reilly Children's Hospital through our Chemo Circus and Caregiver Coffee programs, armed with an array of arts and crafts, gifts, entertainment, and food to distract children during their treatment and to create happiness and smiles. They have a bill-paying fund for families treated at LVRCH. They provide individual and specialized assistance based on the needs of our families as well, often in the form of grocery and gas gift cards to help defray the often-unrecognized costs of dealing with a pediatric cancer diagnosis. PCFLV provides housecleaning services for newly diagnosed families, a college scholarship fund for high school graduates, and much more!
