Heroes like you cure blood cancer! Join us at the Charlotte Be The Match Walk+Run on September 26. Participate in our 5K, 1K or Tot Trot and help us deliver cures!
The Walk+Run is family friendly and open to all ages. All Tot Trot finishers receive a superhero cape.
Lake Norman Christian School is home to the event village, which features free refreshments, photo stop, giveaways and a marrow donor registry. Race day registration is simple and every participant receives an event T-shirt.
Be The Match Walk+Run
Each year, thousands of patients need a marrow transplant, but have no donor match in their family. They depend on Be The Match® to help them find an unrelated marrow donor and receive treatment. The cure for blood cancers like leukemia, lymphoma and 70 other life-threatening diseases is in the hands of ordinary people – your hands.
The Be The Match Walk+Run raises funds to help patients with uninsured treatment costs, support continued marrow transplant research to improve outcomes, and add more volunteer potential marrow donors to Be The Match Registry®, giving more patients hope for a cure.
