Fuel to Fight Cancer 5Miler/5k/2MileWalk

PLEASE JOIN US FOR THE 5th ANNUAL FUEL TO FIGHT CANCER

Help us provide hope and transportation for cancer patients in our community!

About Us

The Fuel to Fight Cancer 5K was established in 2022 with a mission to increase awareness and provide transportation assistance for cancer patients receiving treatment at the Forrest General Cancer Center.

For many patients, the journey to healing involves frequent trips for care, creating both financial and logistical challenges for them and their families. Fuel to Fight was created to help ease that burden, ensuring that no patient has to miss or delay treatment due to lack of transportation.

Through the support of our community, 100% of proceeds are used to provide transportation assistance for cancer patients in need.

What started as a 5K has grown into so much more! As Fuel to Fight has continued to grow, we added a 2-Mile Walk. Now, in celebration of our 5th year, we’re excited to introduce a NEW 5-Mile Run!

A FREE Kids Fun Run kicks off the morning in The Healing Garden at 7:30 AM! Be sure to bring the whole family and join the fun!

Together, we can fuel the fight and make every step count.
