************************************************
ROCKY’S RUN
Everyone deserves their “Rocky(TM)” moment…
You stand with your fists pumping in the air,
knowing that you can overcome anything,
knowing that nothing can stand in your way,
knowing that for this moment…
…“I can’t be beat, and I won’t be beat!” ~Rocky Balboa
No one deserves that moment more than those of us who have been touched by cancer. Please join us as we symbolically retrace the final leg of Rocky Balboa’s (TM) famous run through the streets of Philly as we ascend the “Rocky Stairs” at the Philadelphia Art Museum led by 2-time Leukemia survivor and lead singer of The Alarm, Mike Peters, and other celebrity guests and musicians. Help us carry the prayer flags that are traveling the world bearing 5,000+ names of cancer survivors, patients and those who have lost their battle. We will lift them high for one last time in the United States before they depart to the top of Kilimanjaro in Africa. Sign the Prayer Flags.
Go a ’step’ further…
…and pledge to raise $1 per step, (72 steps in all) to help the Love Hope Strength Foundation locate bone marrow donors, support cancer centers and build awareness of global cancer needs. All those who make the pledge will receive a FREE T-SHIRT!
