This September, join Canadians from coast to coast for Laps Around Lymphoma, Lymphoma Canada’s national virtual awareness and fitness challenge supporting people affected by lymphoma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). The challenge starts on September 15, which is World Lymphoma Awareness Day.
Whether you walk, run-or move in your own way, every step taken helps raise awareness, fund patient support programs, advance research, and advocate for equitable access to care across Canada.
Together, we are moving for hope, support, education, and a stronger lymphoma community.
Take advantage of early-bird registration pricing before July 31! (Early bird price, $25 | Regular price after July 31, $50).
Why Participate?
Every 37 minutes, someone in Canada is diagnosed with lymphoma. More than 100,000 Canadians are currently living with lymphoma, making it the fifth most common cancer in the country.
By participating in Laps Around Lymphoma, you are helping ensure that patients and families have access to:
- Trusted educational resources
- Peer and community support programs
- Advocacy for timely access to treatments
- Research initiatives that improve patient outcomes
As the only registered Canadian charity focused solely on lymphoma cancers, Lymphoma Canada is committed to ensuring no one faces lymphoma alone. Every registration and every dollar raised helps make a meaningful difference.
How it works
- Register: sign up as an individual or create a team with friends, family, coworkers, or your community. Once your registration is complete, you will receive a confirmation email with instructions and a link to connect to the virtual racetrack through the Wellbeing+ app.
- Move your way: from September 15 to 30, track your movement and complete your personal or team challenge goal.
- Fundraise and make an impact: share your fundraising page and invite your community to support your efforts. Every step helps support Canadians affected by lymphoma.
Participants have the option to register as either a lymphoma patient or a community participant. We ask that if you are undergoing treatment, are in recovery, or currently identify as a lymphoma patient in any way, that you select this category. All other supporters are invited to register as community participants.
Together, we are creating a national community united by movement and purpose.
Share your journey
One of the most powerful parts of Laps Around Lymphoma is the community behind it.
Throughout the challenge, participants are encouraged to:
- Share photos and videos and tag @LymphomaCanada
- Celebrate milestones
