The walk — presented by Stater Bros. Charities and Inland Women Fighting Cancer — benefits local cancer centers and cancer-fighting organizations. Since the walk began in 2008, it has raised more than $2.5 million, and a portion of the funds have gone to Loma Linda University Cancer Center.
From the 2014 walk, $175,000 was given to LLU Cancer Center to benefit its genetic screening program, which helps determine the best course of treatment for cancer but is not covered by insurance.
Patient testimonial
Jeanne Malcuit is a living testament to the care provided by the Cancer Center at Loma Linda University Health.
She was treated there for an aggressive form of breast cancer. “I was so lucky with every doctor that I’ve ever gotten at Loma Linda,” she says. “I just feel so blessed to have them.”
Cancer “takes everything away from you,” Malcuit says, but she refused to let it keep her down.
“I want to be the poster child for hope,” she says.
Malcuit shares how she took her life back in the video below. Get inspired and consider participating in the Believe Walk to give hope to other cancer patients.
