MADISON-People who have been touched by cancer will take a stand, by walking away.
The first annual Walk Away from Cancer, sponsored by the UW Carbone Cancer Center (UWCCC), will be held Saturday, August 6 at 9 a.m. All proceeds from the walk will benefit cancer research at UWCCC.
The three-mile walk through the UW campus begins and ends at the cul-de-sac between Nielsen Tennis Stadium and Goodman Softball Complex, adjacent to UW Hospital and Clinics. Following the walk, there will be a celebration featuring refreshments and music from the UW Marching Band.
The person who raises the most money for cancer research will win a pair of coach tickets on Air Tran Airways for travel anywhere in the continental United States, including Puerto Rico.
