CINCINNATI — CancerFree KIDS launched a 30-day fitness challenge to raise money for pediatric cancer research.
This year the organization hopes to raise $200,000 throughout September in honor of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.
For every 100 miles participants complete, $100 dollars gets donated to help kids with cancer.
“We just are excited for the community to come together to help bring some awareness to childhood cancer,” said CancerFree KIDS Executive Director Jill Brinck.
Brinck is participating in the challenge along with her 9-year-old son, Jack.
“Other kids with cancer don’t have the kind of opportunities I have so I want to help them,” he said.
