From the Organizer
Join us for the COOrageous in Motion walk, a community-powered event for those impacted by cancer, created to support the fighters, admire the survivors, honor the taken, and never, ever give up hope.
Hosted by Coos for Cancer, this walk brings individuals, families, survivors, caregivers, and supporters together because no one fights cancer alone.
Whether you walk to support the cause, for someone currently battling cancer, in honor of a loved one, or to admire a survivor, every step helps sow seeds of hope, strength, and remembrance.
As a 100% volunteer nonprofit rooted in compassion, community, and connection, Coos for Cancer is committed to standing beside those impacted by cancer, offering a different perspective through the therapeutic nature of agriculture while tailoring support to each warrior’s unique journey.
Every registration ages 4 and up includes an official COOrageous in Motion Walk T-Shirt, helping our community wear hope, strength, and remembrance together.
Every participation, sponsorship, and donation keeps COOrageous in Motion, helping us plow through challenges, strengthen connection and community, and remind all that no one walks alone.
