wALK Positive Challenge is Stepping Towards a Cure

The ALK Positive fundraising committee is excited to announce a month-long, international fundraising campaign, the 2021 wALK Positive Challenge, to raise funds and awareness during Lung Cancer Hope month.  The upcoming wALK Positive Challenge is inspired by ALK Positive member Niels Harthoon’s individual fundraiser, which he hosted in August of 2020.  Niels, residing in The Netherlands, created the fundraiser and challenged participants to walk 10.000 steps over 10 days while pledging a donation of their choosing. 

The upcoming wALK Positive Challenge is a great opportunity for all members across the globe to create a new DIY campaign and raise funds directly for ALK Positive, contributing towards our groundbreaking research projects- because more research = more life! 

Creating the DIY fundraiser is easy. Participants, made up of family and friends, will join your fundraising team and pledge a donation while committing to 10,000 steps for 10 days over the entire month of May.  (Don’t worry, it's a loose commitment to appeal to those of all activity levels). To drive awareness and buzz around the campaign, participants are encouraged to share pictures of their journeys on social media using the hashtag #wALKpositivechallenge. 

The campaign will run between May 1- 31, 2021 and our goal is $500,000.  Funds raised during the campaign will be matched by several generous donors up to $200,000!
