Can you walk 1.7 miles for a neighbor facing cancer? 🍂

On Saturday, October 17, the Hawthorne Cancer Foundation’s 5th Annual Fall Challenge is back, and the walk is made for everyone. It’s a 1.7-mile loop with no pace requirement.

Come for one lap, an hour, or all 12, any time between 7 AM and 7 PM.

Every mile you log funds gas and food cards for local cancer patients.

👟 12-Hour Challenge: Johnston-Willis / HCA Campus & Huguenot Park. Check in, hydrate, and start/finish at the Sarah Cannon Cancer Institute entrance.

🌎 Can’t be at the hospital? Join virtually from anywhere and log your miles.

🚴 Virginia Capital Trail: 51.7 miles, Jamestown to Richmond. Ride the full trail or walk any stretch with Team Hawthorne.

📍 1401 Johnston-Willis Drive, Richmond, VA 23235
🗓 Saturday, October 17 | 7 AM to 7 PM

Walk it, run it, ride it, or roll it. Bring your family, your walking shoes, and your leashed pets. 🐾

We’re aiming for 300 miles together for our 5th anniversary. Help us get there.

Cancer can make life feel overwhelming.

Sometimes you need information.
Sometimes you need someone to talk to.
Sometimes you need a support group.
And sometimes… you just need somewhere you can sit, breathe, and feel a little less alone.

That’s part of what The Hawthorne Cancer Resource Center is here for.

Patients, families and friends can find cancer resources and educational materials, connect with others, attend support groups, speak with volunteers, or simply spend some time in a comfortable, welcoming space.

Because support isn't always about having the perfect words.

Sometimes it's simply having somewhere to go and someone who understands. 💙

Have you or someone you love ever found comfort in a place like this?

Tell us what “support” has meant to you.

Cancer can bring financial challenges alongside treatment.

The Weersing Family Grant Fund provides financial assistance to qualified cancer patients who are currently undergoing treatment, helping with needs such as food, shelter, and transportation.

The Hawthorne Cancer Foundation exists to help lessen the emotional and financial burden that can come with cancer.:

Your support helps The Hawthorne continue its mission of supporting cancer patients and families when they need it most. 💙

🎗️ Every Cancer Journey Deserves Support. Every Family Deserves Hope. 🎗️When cancer impacts a life, it affects more than just the patient - it touches entire families,...

09/23/2026

Every cancer journey has moments that stay with you.

Maybe it was the first time someone said, “You’re not alone.”

Maybe it was a conversation that gave you hope.

Maybe a family member showed up when you needed them most.

Or maybe it was a small moment that helped you keep going.

We want to hear about it.

If you’re a cancer survivor, patient, caregiver, or someone who has supported a loved one through cancer, tell us:

💙 What was one moment that mattered to you?

Your story might be exactly what someone else needs to hear today.

Share your moment in the comments or connect with The Hawthorne Cancer Foundation to share it.

What does a day at The Hawthorne look like?

It might be someone stopping by with a question.

A patient finding information and resources.

A family member looking for support.

Someone joining a support group.

Or simply having a quiet place to sit, connect, and know they aren't alone.

The Hawthorne Cancer Resource Center is here to provide information, resources, connection and support to people navigating cancer.

And sometimes, knowing there is a place you can walk into and find someone who understands can mean a lot. 💙
