The SO ALIVE Cancer Project

(Update 5/31/23) For May I ran a total of 108.9 miles. Though the month is over, this page will remain active and I will continue to raise money and do my best to support those in the fight against cancer. I hope you will join me. Thank you

Hi, my name is Denise. As a caregiver, I have seen (and am currently still witnessing) the damage that cancer can do to the body, mind, and spirit. I started the So Alive Cancer Project to give a voice to those in the fight and also those who won the victory. Their stories help educate, give resources, and encourage others. You can click here to learn more and hear some stories of breast cancer survivors; which is who the movement originally started with.

Things like a phone bill or a car note can easily fall through the cracks while fighting for your life. Uber charges and taxi rides to treatment and medical appointments can chip away at financial reserves. Access to overpriced medicines and supplies can be hindered without a little extra money making it hard to find the strength to just keep going. I want to help.

May is my birth month. I am turning 50. My experience with cancer makes me so grateful for each day. I want to use my days being a blessing to others. I hope you will join me. I am dedicated to rucking (running/walking with a 20lb pack) a 5k a day for the entire month of May. If you donate $1 a mile, that equals $96.10 for the month to help this cause. Please note: I plan on running more than 3.1 miles for 31 days, but I will run no less. You can wait to see the total number of May miles and give at the end of the month, or make a one-time donation of any amount at any time. Anything you give will be greatly appreciated.

40% of the funds raised will go to the SO ALIVE Cancer Project to continue educating and telling stories through audio, video, and publications (1st book release Oct 2023). 40% will go to Powerful Divas with a Purpose to continue helping individuals in need. 20% will go to individuals that have already expressed a need to me.

You can follow my miles on Strava or Instagram & TikTok @TheDeniseHill. Thank you
