The Harold E. Eisenberg Foundation presents:
Step Toward the Challenge, Advance GI Cancer Research
Join the Harold E. Eisenberg Foundation wherever you are on July 4th for a virtual Walk & 5k! Get out, get active (while social distancing) and support our mission to fight gastrointestinal (GI) cancers.
Cancer patients are particularly vulnerable during this time, which means our mission is more important than ever. Your participation will help raise awareness and critical funds for our Cancer Research Programs in partnership with the Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center of Northwestern University. Each dollar brings us closer to personalized medicine and life-saving GI cancer treatments.
Although we won't be together in person, we look forward to being active with you virtually on Independence Day. Thank you for your support!
