For Genevieve Wetzel, the impact of cancer on families is personal. As the daughter of a terminally ill cancer patient and the author of Together We Will Be, she knows how important support can be for families navigating a cancer diagnosis.

That’s why she’s inviting YOU to gather your friends, family, coworkers, church group, or club and create a team for the MAD Dash 5K & 1-Mile Fun Run!

When you register, you’re helping the Louisiana Cancer Foundation provide support to local cancer patients and their families. Plus, your team could win the McDonald’s Challenge!

The largest registered team will win $1,000 to donate to the charity of their choice.

So grab your people, build your team, and join us Saturday, September 26, at Forsythe Park in Monroe.

Every step makes a difference.

Meet Crystal! After receiving a free mammogram through the Foundation, doctors found something that needed additional testing. The Louisiana Cancer Foundation stepped in and covered the follow-up care she needed ,giving Crystal access to the care and answers that could make all the difference.

Now, she’s asking you to join her at the MAD Dash 5K & 1-Mile Fun Run to help provide life-saving screenings and support for others in our community.

Together, we can celebrate survivors, remember loved ones we’ve lost, and help give more people the opportunity for early detection and a brighter future.

Every step makes a difference.
