UAMS’ Be A Part of the Cure Walk celebrates record year
The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) Winthrop P. Rockefeller Cancer Institute raised more than $500,000 for cancer research during this year’s Be A Part of the Cure Walk, a record high since the walk began in 2021.
Hosted by the Winthrop P. Rockefeller Cancer Institute at War Memorial Stadium on Saturday, May 2, the annual event honors families, survivors, and all who have been impacted by cancer.
“Every dime raised will stay right here at UAMS and be dedicated to cancer research,” said Cancer Institute Director Michael Birrer, M.D., Ph.D. “We try to do research that’s relevant to the citizens of Arkansas, which includes a focus on breast cancer, colorectal cancer, lung cancer, and prostate cancer.” “The purpose of the walk has always been three-prong — celebrating our survivors, paying tribute to families of those affected by cancer, and recognizing the outstanding staff at the Winthrop P. Rockefeller Cancer Institute,” he added.
More than 2,000 people registered for the Be A Part of the Cure Walk — also a record-high number.
Travel journalist Lesley Murphy, a Fort Smith native and an alumna from “The Bachelor,” emceed the event for the second consecutive year.
This year’s special honoree was James Y. Suen, M.D., a distinguished professor of Otolaryngology – Head & Neck Surgery who co-founded the Winthrop P. Rockefeller Cancer Institute.
The next Be A Part of the Cure walk is scheduled for May 1, 2027.
