One hundred percent of the proceeds from the Walk/Run benefit the clinical research program at the Cancer Center of Santa Barbara.

The Run provides funds which allow local residents to participate in national adult and pediatric cancer research studies. Fundraising efforts also support two UCSB post-doctorate fellows, who develop innovative ideas and treatments while advancing our knowledge about cancer and related diseases. During the past decade, this seed money has resulted in more than $4 million in subsequent federal grant awards. In addition to the fellowship, the Cancer Center also strives to foster the young careers of tomorrow's scientific leaders by participating in the UCSB Research Mentorship Program. Since 2005, the Cancer Center has offered two scholarships to highly motivated local high school students so that they may have the opportunity to join graduate students and their principal investigators as they carry out cutting edge research. Finally, we offer educational presentations within the community for individuals to learn more about the recent breakthroughs and treatments in cancer research.

Eleven years ago Julie Main helped to establish what has since become one of the Cancer Center’s most inspiring programs – the annual Walk/Run Training Program. Over 300 people to have taken part to date – why not be the 301st?

This free 6-week supervised walk/run exercise program is designed to help you and your friends, family members or co-workers train for the 2010 Cancer Center Walk/Run.
