CROSSING THE CANYON
We did it! Twenty-nine team members crossed the Grand Canyon on September 27, 2017. And together, raised more than $75,000 for brain cancer research.
THE GRAND CANYON
23.5 miles, 10,141 feet of altitude change. One day.
The Grand Canyon Rim-to-Rim trek takes the team from the North Rim down to the canyon floor, across the canyon, then up to the South Rim over 23.5 miles and more than 10,000 feet of elevation change. It is a powerful metaphor for the race to end brain cancer. The canyon represents the valley of death of underfunded research. We know that funding brain tumor research will change the future for those diagnosed with brain cancer and that if money is the problem, it’s a problem that can be solved. Together, we can do this.
DATES: September 25-29, 2017

The BethAnn Telford Short Film
This is the joyful story of one endurance athlete who, facing brain cancer, becomes a warrior. She fights not just for her own survival but for the children who share her diagnosis, the children she races for everyday.
