About Project Cure
A group of women from St. Stephen Catholic School founded Project Cure after several young mothers at the school died from breast cancer. After investigating various programs, they opted to raise funds for the Don and Erika Wallace Comprehensive Breast Program at H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute because 100 percent of the money raised goes directly to clinical trials for breakthrough breast cancer research. No funds are spent on overhead or administrative costs. Since 2006, Project Cure has raised more than $70,000 for research at Moffitt.
Participants in the Project Cure walk are not required to walk a specified distance or raise a minimum amount of money. Project Cure welcomes all supporters of this worthwhile cause, whether they want to walk a few miles and raise $10 or walk the entire 60 miles and raise thousands of dollars. Project Cure also is seeking volunteer help the weekend of the event and submissions of names for its prayer list, which is recited each day of the walk.
