American Cancer Society’s 3rd Annual Climb to Conquer Cancer is a non-competitive event to raise money and awareness to fight cancer. Walk, run, bike, wheel or stroll 6.5 miles up the Sandia Crest Byway in the Sandia Mountains to the breathtaking summit at 10,678 feet where a festival awaits with food, entertainment, information booths, games and a silent auction. There are water stops along the way, and shuttle buses take participants back down.

Last year, teams, participants and sponsors raised $35,000 to continue the strides in the fight against cancer by providing support for programs of research, education, advocacy, and services to cancer patients and their families. In the United States, cancer accounts for one of every four deaths. More than 565,000 Americans (and 3,000 New Mexicans) will have died from cancer in 2008, or about one every minute. We are moving toward a cancer-free future, but we can’t reach our destination without your help. Please sign up today!
