Show support for kids with cancer by participating in the Michael Hoefflin Foundation’s Fourth Annual Walk/Run for Kids with Cancer, scheduled for Saturday, March 15, at College of the Canyons Cougar Stadium.

Sponsored by Boston Scientific, the annual fundraiser gives individuals, families and teams the chance to show support for a local non-profit that positively impacts the lives of children with cancer and their families. All funds raised from the walk go directly to support the Michael Hoefflin Foundation and its services. Last year’s event raised more than $55,000 for the Foundation.

Walker registration is $25; runner registration is $35. Register online now at http://www.mhf.org. Start your own team or join an existing one. The event is meant for everyone, regardless of fitness level. You may also donate online toward this event.

“We hear the word ‘cancer’ and it is jarring,” said Gillian Stone, executive director of MHF. “However, this event is a celebration of the lives of children and their families who have been affected by children’s cancer. By coming together in a show of community support, we can and will win against cancer.”

The walk/run will begin at 9 a.m., with registration at 8 a.m. The fundraiser will take place rain or shine.

Throughout the year, the Foundation helps families in many ways, including providing gas and grocery assistance, support group meetings, and family outings – aid crucial to families dealing with the emotional and unexpected financial burden of cancer.

The Michael Hoefflin Foundation for children’s cancer is a public non-profit 501(c) (3) foundation serving children and families touched by pediatric cancer in the Santa Clarita and surrounding valleys. For more information please contact us at (661) 250-4100 or go to www.MHF.org.
