Alex’s Million Mile

In 2013, more than 5,000 people joined in the first

Million Mile Run (last year’s name). $500,000 was

raised from all of the teams. We are certain that we can

beat last year’s total this September.

To show solidarity with cancer patients, during

September 2014, Childhood Cancer Awareness Month,

10,000 individuals and teams will each cover 100 miles

over the course of the month.

10,000 Teams x 100 miles = 1 Million Miles

During September 2014, Childhood Cancer Awareness

Month, the second annual Alex’s Million Mile event will

take place. Being a virtual event it can happen

anywhere and anytime throughout the month.

How does it work?

Each person or team sets a goal of completing a certain

amount of miles walked, run or cycled throughout the

month of September.

There is no requirement for the amount of miles that

you complete. Each mile counts, so try your best to

record as many miles as possible.

Each participant will get pledges from family and

friends.

1 Million Miles x $1 in pledges = $1 Million

(Look how easy it is to raise $1 Million!)

Why a million miles?

A few reasons- because a billion miles would just be crazy...or would it? Hmmm.

Alex said she was going to raise a million dollars with a lemonade stand which was thought to be crazy at the time.

Because a parent that has a child with cancer would go a million miles to find a cure, so we are willing to go a million miles too.

Can I ride my bike to participate? Yes, you can! This year, miles earned from cycling will count

towards your total, so get your bike ready!

How does running a million miles help kids with cancer?For each donation made, there will be more funding for

cutting edge research, which will help many children in need of a cure.

I can't run a hundred miles in a month, can I still participate?

If you mean you can’t “run” 100 miles, of course, walking and cycling is fine. We just want to get to 1 million miles.

If you mean you can’t make it 100 miles yourself, then just get a team together, you get to combine your miles.

This sounds difficult. Will it be tough?For some people this will be very difficult, but, if you

persevere, the reward in the end will be worth every step! Also, it won’t be nearly as difficult as what a child with cancer

goes through.

Will this be fun?We think it will be a lot of fun. Working with a team of

10,000 to change the lives of kids with cancer. What could be better?

Can 1 million miles be reached?...Yes!

What could $1 million do to change the childhood cancer world?

$1 million will fund as many as 10 childhood cancer research projects looking for new and less toxic treatments for children.
