On Sunday morning, June 5th, 2016, Diane Frate, Lisa Slen, and Sabina Frison joined the “Benjamin’s and Beyond” team for the Hope in Motion cancer walk & run in Stamford, CT. This is a year-round fundraising initiative for the Bennett Cancer Center at Stamford Hospital.
Thousands of walkers and runners packed together at Columbus Park under banners and signs to honor those who survived cancer and others at the 21st annual Hope in Motion fundraiser. The event is held to coincide with National Cancer Survivor’s Day.
More than 230 teams took part in the 5K walk which followed a route up Atlantic and Bedford streets and down Summer Street back to Columbus Park.
Here we are…
Through their signature event, the Walk & Run and other events throughout the year, the community comes together to raise funds for cancer patients in the community. For 21 years, the Bennett Cancer Center has provided the highest standard of care in the area to the community’s cancer patients and their families in a warm and supportive environment. 100% of the funds raised through Hope in Motion go directly to programs and services at the Bennett Cancer Center, all provided free of charge to their patients. Support ranges from individual grants to support patients’ living expenses, transportation to and from treatment, nutrition coaching, and family and group counseling.
