Why I’m Going the Distance - And Why I Need You With Me
Thursday 17th Apr
In 2024, thanks to your incredible support, we raised $1 million for lifesaving cancer research and financial assistance for young adult survivors. That’s real impact. But in 2025, the need is even greater.
Here’s why:
The momentum we’ve built in cancer care and research is under threat. Severe funding cuts to the National Institutes of Health and other essential institutions jeopardize the breakthroughs we’ve fought so hard for. The stakes couldn’t be higher.
What’s at risk:
- New, lifesaving treatments
- Access to cutting-edge care
- Hope for millions of patients and families
We simply can’t afford to go backward — not when lives are on the line.
The EMF Team on which I serve is small, mighty and passionate - and we are pushing harder than ever. I’m counting on you to stand with us. Every mile I log and every dollar you give moves us closer to a world where cancer is no longer a life sentence.
Donate today to my Distance Challenge. Help protect the future of cancer research, treatment, and hope. 100% of your donation goes to the cause, thanks to our generous corporate sponsors.
From the bottom of my heart - thank you. Your generosity fuels this mission and lights the way forward.
With gratitude, Ann Manion
Managing Director
