Lowell General Hospital's 17th annual TeamWalk for CancerCare is May 22

WILMINGTON, MA - On Sunday, May 22, Lowell General Hospital will hold its 17th annual TeamWalk for CancerCare. With the help of generous corporate partners and more than 5,000 participants, TeamWalk raises funds to support the Cancer Center’s services for patients and their families. Since its inception in 2000, TeamWalk has raised more than $9 million to help over 24,000 patients.

TeamWalk (www.teamwalk.org) funds make a difference in the lives of today’s cancer patients by paying for medications, nutritional supplements, wigs and prostheses, support groups, skilled nursing visits, transportation, mini-grants, and supportive services to patients of all cancer types. Funds raised enable Lowell General Hospital to provide assistance, support, and services to help people feel better, build confidence and instill hope throughout their battle with cancer.

The walk begins and ends at the Tsongas Center, in Lowell, starting at 7:30 a.m. with registration and ending at 11:45 a.m. with a closing ceremony. Participants can either walk or run a three or 6.2 mile route. To make a donation or to register to walk, visit www.teamwalk.org.
