Through the Get Heeled 5KIcon indicating that a link will open an external site., Blue and Pink Health Fairs for UNC Gymnastics and volunteering with UNC Lineberger's Fire & Ice event, the Pink Pacers are taking the fight to cancer.

The Pink Pacers say that they cherish their relationship with UNC Lineberger "not only because of the incredible people that work there but also because UNC Lineberger provides seemingly limitless opportunities to which we can direct our energy and talents." Their hope is to continue this wonderful relationship for many years to come.

The Pink Pacers want to give back and make a difference by creating memorable experiences that bring the local community together to celebrate life, health and wellness.

The group has focused most of its past fundraising efforts on breast cancer programs, but will expand its reach this year by welcoming Dr. Stuart Gold and the Pediatric Hematology/Oncology program into the Pink Pacer family. "We cannot wait to see what we, along with Dr. Gold and UNC Lineberger's support, can do for families battling cancer," say the Pink Pacers.

"What began as a walking group is now so much more. Whether on the streets, in hospitals or in our local schools and businesses, the Pink Pacers will continue to walk on because we can never walk away."
