Imagine a week with no worries, full of fun activities like swimming, boating, crafts, music, dancing and most importantly, making new friends, like you, who have cancer. You can make a week like this a reality for children with cancer in your community by joining us on Saturday, Sept. 10, 2011 at 9 AM at McAlpine Creek Park, 8711 Monroe Road in Charlotte.

Did you know that this walk was originally started by a Camp Care camper? He was so inspired by his summer camp experience that he wanted to do something to make sure that all children with cancer would find the same joy, new friendships and fun that he found at camp. That camper was Paul Jon (P.J.) St. Martin. In the fall of 1994, 16 year old P.J. started the first walkathon...in a wheelchair. Sixteen years later, it has evolved into a sanctioned 5K run/walk and is the largest fund raiser for Camp Care.

So how did Zack get involved? Zack became part of the Camp Care family in 1992. He was a camper, then a counselor, and eventually sat on the board of directors. When the St’ Martin’s asked if Zack’s name could be added to the walkathon, his family was honored. Camp Care provided support, friendship, laughter and a sense of extended family for him. It also provided an opportunity to be with others who understood the experience and impact of having childhood cancer. These young men epitomize what Camp Care stands for!

Want to help us continue to provide a free summer camp experience and fun monthly events throughout the year for the children in your community with cancer and their families please register above for our 5k event.
