From the Organizer
Climb To End Cancer is more than a hike, it’s a volunteer-led campaign that unites the Flagstaff community to end cancer as we know it, for everyone. It’s a powerful journey honoring loved ones impacted by cancer and raising critical funds to save lives. As the American Cancer Society’s signature event in Northern Arizona, this campaign powerfully illustrates how small steps—taken together—can lead to big change. ACS is determined to ensure no one in Northern Arizona touched by cancer has to walk alone at any point on their cancer journey.
