It has been 2 months since our Finish Cancer Run, and this run was truly special for BBTM.
It took a lot of effort, planning, and promoting to bring this event to life. When brainstorming with our Hood to Coast Finish Cancer team about ways to raise money for Providence Cancer Institute, we knew we wanted to do more than just ask our family and friends for donations.
We wanted to give back to our community and create an experience where people could challenge themselves in a fun way, while also providing a space for our community to honor loved ones who have battled or are currently battling cancer. We wanted this event to have a purpose, and we truly hope we were able to deliver that.
We definitely could not have done it alone. We are incredibly grateful for the family, friends, local businesses, volunteers, and community members who stepped up to help make it possible. This was by far a community lift, and that is what made it so special.
Together, we raised $4,400 from this event alone, helping us crush our overall fundraising goal of $12,000!
We are very proud to have supported Providence Cancer Institute in such a big way, backed by our community. That is a big part of what we want BBTM to be about—using our miles to support something much bigger than ourselves.
A huge thank you to everyone who collaborated with us, supported the event, donated, volunteered, showed up, and ran alongside us. You all helped make the Finish Cancer Run something we will always be proud of. ❤️
Better By The Mile, in more ways than one.
