Stop Cancer 5K | 10K Walk/Run

Help raise life-saving dollars to fund early cancer research at UCLA’s Jonsson, USC Norris and City of Hope Comprehensive Cancer Centers! Monies raise also help fund the USC Norris Pediatric Cancer Program at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles and the Mattel Children’s Hospital at UCLA! On August 6, 2011, 7 year old Emma Wood was diagnosed with ALL (Accute Lymphoblastic Leukemia). After her diagnosis, Emma and her entire family decided to team up with STOP CANCER to raise money for cancer research. In 2011, Team Emma raised over $20,000.00 and had 130 people join her on the walk/run.  In 2012, Team Emma raised over $23,000.00 and had over 300 people join her on the walk/run. It was such a great experience that we're putting Team Emma together again for this year’s walk/run. Emma’s 2013 goal is 400 people to walk/run on her team and reach over $20,000.00, once again. Please join Structure Home as we again support Team Emma on September 22, 2013 at 8am at Woodley Park in Van Nuys (6335 Woodley Ave., Van Nuys, CA 91406) and come spend the day with all of us.
