How You're Helping

When you walk, you’re doing more than showing support — you’re providing supportive services to parents, siblings, children, and friends facing the challenges of cancer. Every dollar raised through the Hope in Motion Walk ensures that our loved ones don’t go through this journey alone.

The funds you raise bring free counseling and emotional support to patients and their families. They provide wellness programs that restore strength and hope, from yoga and meditation to nutrition guidance. They remove barriers by offering transportation assistance, ensuring patients can attend treatments without the added stress of logistics.

For families in financial hardship, your contributions offer direct assistance to help cover essential expenses. They create support groups and mentorship programs. They provide education and resources to empower both patients and caregivers with the knowledge they need to face each day with confidence.

Your steps matter. Your fundraising has a purpose. Together, we are changing lives — one step at a time.

  Why We Walk

We walk to remember. To honor. To celebrate.

Above all, we walk because we want to ensure that patients at the Carl & Dorothy Bennett Cancer Center have access to the critical support services they need at no cost to help them navigate their cancer journey.

Meet some of the extraordinary people who bring hope through the Hope in Motion Walk:

Lauren O’Keefe: Supporting her Patients at the Bennett Cancer Center

For the last 22 years, Lauren O’Keefe has worked as an APRN at the Bennett Cancer Center. Lauren has seen first hand how costly cancer treatment can be. She walks to support her patients and help provide critical support services to those most in need. What’s memorable about the Walk to Lauren is that at each Walk she is able to connect with patients she had in year’s past.

Greg Kait: Helping Cancer Patients Recover

Greg Kait knows the physical, mental and emotional toll it takes to be a cancer patient, survivor and caretaker. He walks to help lessen that toll — raising money to ensure that patients at the Bennett Cancer Center can make it to and from their treatments and can get services that help in their recovery.
