LLS has been instrumental in the development of nearly every breakthrough in blood cancer treatment, investing more than $1.6 billion in cutting-edge research worldwide. Despite this progress, more than a third of blood cancer patients still do not survive five years after their diagnosis.
"Wherever you live, you can help save lives and take cancer down by being a part of Big Climb," said Coker Powell, LLS Chief Development Officer. Participants can join their local communities for in-person climb events in over 10 cities throughout the U.S., or they can conquer the virtual climb by completing 1,000 steps (the average number of steps of LLS's in-person Big Climb events), 1,356 steps (the most steps of all in-person Big Climb events), or 10,000 steps (the total steps of all Big Climb events combined). Participants can also climb in honor of local patients who are spotlighted as a source of inspiration throughout their journey.
