More than 1,000 people gathered at War Memorial Stadium early April 30 for the 2nd Annual Be A Part of the Cure Walk benefiting the UAMS Winthrop P. Rockefeller Cancer Institute.
Despite predictions of rain, the weather and atmosphere were perfect for the event that brought together cancer survivors, family, friends, physicians, nurses, researchers, and civic and community leaders to support the Cancer Institute’s work.
The walk raised more than $242,000 to fund cancer research, exceeding the event goal by $42,000. Donations are continuing to come in and can still be made online at beapartofthecure.com.
