Pledge A Step Cancer Walk
November 2025 | Walk. Run. Ride. Give Hope.
Why We Walk
This November, we walk in honor of the fighters, survivors, and loved ones we’ve lost. The Pledge a Step Cancer Walk is more than just miles on a map; it’s a movement of hope.
Each pledge, each step, and each story fuels our mission to support families affected by cancer. 100% of the funds raised go directly back to families who need it most through financial aid, resources, and encouragement provided by The Horse of Many Colors Cancer Foundation.
How It Works
-
Pledge Your Support: Choose to give per mile, a flat donation, or become a business sponsor.
-
Track Your Miles: Walk, run, hike, bike, or swim. Use your favorite free fitness app to log progress.
-
Donate at Month’s End: At the end of November, tally your miles and complete your pledge through our secure Zeffy page.
Every step counts. Whether you walk a single mile or a hundred, you’re making a difference.
What It Is & Why It Matters
The Pledge a Step Cancer Walk is a month-long movement to raise awareness and financial support for families facing cancer.
Why it matters:
-
Every $1 pledged helps us provide direct aid to families in crisis.
-
Every mile walked honors someone’s journey with cancer.
-
Every story shared builds a stronger, more hopeful community.
This isn’t just about fitness — it’s about fighting cancer together.
