About the 82K Challenge:

Almost 82,000 people will be diagnosed with kidney cancer this year. Together, we can support kidney cancer research that changes lives. The KCA is challenging YOU with the 82K Challenge in honor of the patients fighting this disease and in pursuit of a cure.

The Challenge kicks off in March during Kidney Cancer Awareness Month and concludes on June 20th during World Kidney Cancer Day. Participants get creative and set a goal based on what you love. Ride your bike 8.2 miles, run for 82 minutes, spend 8.2 hours meditating – with a little imagination, there are no limits. No matter what you choose to do or how much money you raise, you’ll be joining a community of change-makers working to find a cure for kidney cancer.

We hope you’ll join our event! Bring your family, friends, and neighbors and click JOIN on the right side of your page!
