CureSearch Walk to Conquer Kids' Cancer in Des Moines

A group of Des Moines parents of children with cancer is responsible for bringing the CureSearch Walk to Conquer Kids' Cancer in Des Moines.

The CureSearch Walk to Conquer Kids' Cancer is a pledge walk that unites people in the fight to reach the day when every child with cancer can be guaranteed a cure. Its goals are to increase awareness of childhood cancer and the critical need for research and to raise the revenue needed to support the Children's Oncology Group’s (COG) collaborative research network at work in member institutions from coast to coast.

All proceeds will go to CureSearch to support lifesaving research conducted by the COG, the world’s largest pediatric cancer research organization.

Why is a Cure for Childhood Cancer So Important?
Every school day 46 young people or two classrooms of students are diagnosed with cancer in this country and more than 40,000 young people are currently in treatment. Once considered nearly incurable, through research, 78% of patients overall survive today. Despite this amazing progress, cancer still claims the lives of one in four infants, children, and young adults diagnosed.
