i Run for i-Cell Goes Virtual!
Like every other event scheduled over the past 7 months, we have made the difficult decision to move our event to an online format for this year. But that won't stop us from doing what we do best - rallying behind a cause that means so much to so many.
This event will take place from October 30 - November 30. During this time, you can create a fundraising team with your friends and family, raise as much money as you can, and complete your 5K distance (whether walking, running, or crawling). We are so grateful to have your support! See Event Details page for more information.
