MD Anderson’s Boot Walk to End Cancer® held its inaugural walk in 2016. It is a community initiative to take a stand against cancer; raise research dollars; and show support for patients, survivors and families impacted by the disease. This annual fundraiser is held in November and provides support for patient programs, research, prevention and education at MD Anderson. 100% of funds raised by participants directly support MD Anderson's mission to end cancer.
