Why We Walk

Until we achieve a cure, our efforts will ensure these families receive the comfort, relief, support and fun to help them in the ultimate fight against these diseases. Please join our foundations in the fight to CURE Pediatric Cancer and other serious illnesses.

The Desi Strong Foundation is geared to help children facing cancer feel that love & support that Desi was so graciously granted. Together we will fight this beast called Childhood Cancer & help fund for a cure.

We can’t all be doctors or cancer researchers or caregivers, but walking with us can raise the money that makes their work possible. And in the meantime, help children and their families feel the love while they fight these horrible diseases.

There are various levels of sponsorship available for the 5K and Kids Fun Run. As you will see, each sponsor will be highly visible in many aspects of the event. We hope that you will consider sponsoring our race.

Come join us for a day of fun and fitness at our in-person event located at 71560 San Jacinto Dr. Lace up your sneakers and get ready to hit the pavement for a great cause.

Whether you're a seasoned runner or just looking for a leisurely walk, this event is perfect for all ages and fitness levels. Plus, you'll be supporting a fantastic cause - helping kids in need!

Mark your calendars and gather your friends and family for a day of community, exercise, and giving back. We can't wait to see you there!
