Frequently Asked Questions

Why are we doing this?

To raise the profile of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and raise money to find better treatments and cures for childhood cancer. A million miles sounds like a crazy goal – some people might think it is unattainable. Sometimes, to get the world to notice, you have to be a little crazy! But Alex showed us that you can reach seemingly unattainable goals.
