Boston Celebrating Long Lives Event 2025

Join us at Millennium Park on May 10th to Support the CLL/SLL Community!

Come together for a 5K walk/run and picnic in support of patients, care partners, and loved ones impacted by chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL / SLL).

EVENT OVERVIEW

For the past three years, CLL Society has hosted a national, virtual 5K walk/run fundraiser. In 2025, for the first time, this event will also have an in-person component located at Millennium Park in West Roxbury, MA combined with a picnic so that CLL patients and their families can meet others in the area. This event features:

  • A fun, social event/picnic – an opportunity for those affected by CLL to meet in person

  • An optional 5K physical challenge to highlight the importance of exercise and healthy living in combatting CLL

  • A chance to raise awareness of CLL – a common yet not well-known form of adult leukemia

  • Active peer-to-peer fundraising to help support the programs and services of CLL Society

Participants of all ages will have the option to walk or run 5 kilometers on a loop track within Millenium Park, or join the picnic and show your support for those who are doing the 5K. Scroll to find details below.
