STAMFORD, CT — On Sunday, June 9, Stamford Health hosted its 28th Annual Hope in Motion Walk in Mill River Park.

Each year, this signature event is an opportunity to be together to remember and honor all who have been impacted by cancer. Despite the rain, the nearly 1,300 event participants enjoyed a 1.3 mile walk around the park and took part in the day’s festivities including food trucks, family-friendly activities, vendors, and survivor photo.

This year, remarks were made by:

Kathleen Silard, president and CEO, Stamford Health
Dr. Steve Lo, medical director of medical oncology at Stamford Health’s Bennett Cancer Center
Caroline Simmons, mayor of Stamford
Ryan Harvey, president and CEO, Ashforth

Hope in Motion raises funds for integrative medicine and supportive services at Stamford Health’s Bennett Cancer Center, allowing patients to access them free of charge.

These services include rides to treatment; post-treatment exercise programs; restorative sessions of massage, reiki, yoga and reflexology; and grants for non medical expenses.

To date, Stamford Health has raised over $465,000 of their $500,000 fundraising goal. To donate or learn more, visit: www.hopeinmotion.org.
