KENDRA'S WALK 2023 IS ON JUNE 1ST!
Kilometres for
Kendra
(k4k)
In 2022, the Kendra's Walk Committee created a new initiative, called Kilometres for Kendra, which is a two-part challenge to raise money and awareness for cancer.
The goal of Kilometres for Kendra was to have all teens in Manitoba walking for cancer awareness on the same day.
In 2022, that day was May 27th.
For 2023, that day is June 16th.
​
Join us at SJR (we will be updating the new date soon) by walking for cancer awareness and posting on your social media with the hashtags #km4kendra and #krushkancer.
​
Your participation in Kilometres for Kendra will aid in both raising funds for research looking at eliminating and preventing cancer, while also honouring those who have struggled with cancer. Every step makes a difference.
Let's crush cancer, step by step.
