Welcome to the 11th Annual Walk / Run to benefit the Pediatric Cancer Foundation of the Lehigh Valley on Saturday, April 18, 2020, at the Ironton Rail Trail in Coplay. For the last TEN years, this event has been a Lehigh Valley favorite of runners and walkers alike. Last year's event raised almost $70,000 to support our mission.

This is a fun and exciting event that brings the community together to help local families that are battling childhood cancer. It’s a remarkable day filled with love and friendship, and we are delighted that you are looking forward to participating…either for the first time or once again.
