Due to the continued federal government shutdown, the 10th Annual Walk to Bust Cancer scheduled for this Sunday, Oct. 19 is postponed.
With Fort Hunt Park closed and the National Park Service scheduling system offline, organizers are currently unable to secure a backup date.
After an extensive search to try and find an alternative non-government location, this decision rooted in safety, logistics and respect for survivors, families, volunteers and supporters was not taken lightly.
The Walk is a deeply meaningful moment to honor loved ones and rally the surrounding community.
How to help now:
Organizers encourage individuals to continue to fundraise for the non-profit at walktobustcancer.org. Support continues to be vital to fund lifesaving mammograms, diagnostics and treatment navigation for neighbors in need.
