This April, we invite you to move with us for our 2nd annual Head and Neck Cancer Move-A-Thon. Help us raise funds and awareness for head and neck cancers by setting a personal "move" goal.  Then ask your friends to support you and/or let them know how important it is to be aware of the risks and symptoms of head and neck cancer.  

Is there something you love to do? You don't need to be an athlete to participate in our Move-a-Thon. Choose an activity you enjoy! It could be walking, swimming, riding a bike or a horse, knitting, singing, painting, driving, dancing, playing with your kids, walking the dog, pickleball, tennis, golfing, cooking - choose your own adventure!

Lock arms with us to celebrate survivors, give hope to those presently in treatment, and honor those that we have lost. We need your help to advance the work with prevention, detection, treatment, and rehabilitation of oral, head, and neck cancer through public awareness, research, advocacy, and survivorship. All proceeds from this event will go to Head and Neck Cancer Alliance programs, including our Gas Card program, Screening program, Peer to Peer program, Ambassador program, and patient education and research.

MOVE-A-THON FAQs

1. What is the Move-A-Thon? It is an annual fundraising event organized by the Head and Neck Cancer Alliance to raise awareness and support for individuals affected by head and neck cancer. Participants are encouraged to engage in physical activities while raising funds to support our mission.

2. When is the Move-A-Thon held? It's held during the month of April which is Head and Neck Cancer Awareness Month. Participants can register and start fundraising leading up to April, too (if you want).

3. How can I participate in the Move-A-Thon? To participate, visit our website to register as an individual or team. Once registered, you can set up a personal fundraising page and start raising funds and awareness by engaging in physical activities of your choice and sharing about it on social media.

4. What kind of physical activities can I do? Participants are encouraged to choose any physical activity that suits their interests and abilities. Whether it’s walking, running, cycling, yoga, or any other exercise, the goal is to move your body while raising awareness for head and neck cancer.

5. Is there a fundraising goal for participants? While participants have no specific fundraising goal, every contribution makes a difference in supporting our programs and initiatives. Participants are encouraged to set personal fundraising targets and engage their networks to reach their goals.

6. How is the money raised being used? All proceeds go towards funding our programs, which help patients, survivors, and caregivers. We offer support services like our nurse navigator, gas card program, peer-to-peer mentor program, and our Inspire head and neck cancer community. We also offer many free webinars and educational events throughout the year, including our annual in-person (or virtual) Symposium.

7. Can I participate if I cannot engage in physical activities? Absolutely! The Move-A-Thon is inclusive, and individuals who cannot engage in physical activities can still participate by fundraising, spreading awareness, and supporting other participants in their efforts.

8. Are there any rewards or incentives for participants? While the primary goal of the Move-A-Thon is to raise funds and awareness for head and neck cancer, participants may receive incentives or recognition based on their fundraising achievements. Details about incentives are provided on our website.

9. How can I start a team? To start a team, choose "sign up as a team captain." Then, fill out your team page and recruit others to join you. A great way to do this is to start a work team. Many employers have health and wellness programs and would likely support your efforts!
