Why We Walk & Run

DSFIT2RUN was founded in honor of Deana Patterson’s Mother breast cancer journey and continues to empower communities through prevention, education, and healthy living. This inaugural event also focuses on Uterine Cancer in honor of a dear friend that lost her battle in October and those affected by women’s cancers while raising awareness that early detection, movement, and healthy lifestyle choices can save lives.

Together, we’re turning every step into hope, health, and prevention.
