The Step Up To Turn Cancer Off is a virtual fundraising event where participants keep track of their physical activities in order to reach their daily "step" goal.  An easy-to-use online tool will convert nearly any activity such as walking, running swimming, dancing, yoga, gardening, etc. into steps. Participants can register individually or as a team and then share progress with peers and family to garner donations. The week-long challenge runs from June 19th through 26th, 2023.
