Final Comments
To me, survivorship advocacy is about creating a community of solidarity, strength, and hope. And these regional 82K Challenge fundraisers have been a testament to the power of collective action and support. I’m grateful I had the opportunity to be part of this journey, and I’m excited to do it again next year. With one exception — the Austin event will be even bigger and better.
