Tribute to Kimmie D.

Celebrate with a purpose! Wear a casual outfit with a splash of pink and join us for an evening of live music, beverages, and food trucks under the stars.

The James Cancer Hospital’s Stefanie Spielman Comprehensive Breast Center recently launched an inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) program. The IBC program is the first in the state of Ohio and one of only five in the nation. Just last fall, the Dr. Lori Gill Grennan Inflammatory Breast Cancer Fund was established. Proceeds from our fundraiser go toward this fund and will be used for research on why inflammatory breast cancer has such a unique pattern or spread and aggressive course. The specialized IBC program was a long term goal, first considered by my sister, Dr. Lori Gill Grennan, a young doctor from Ohio, stricken by the disease. For years and in honor of Lori, our family has partnered with the IBC Network Foundation to support IBC research at MD Anderson, Dana Farber, and Vanderbilt. After years of preparations, we were able to underwrite an IBC program here in Ohio and get a legacy fund in Lori’s name started. We are thrilled to partner with The James Cancer Hospital’s Stefanie Spielman Comprehensive Breast Center to offer world class care for this aggressive disease to women in and around our community. Please join us in supporting this milestone! Your support, by forming a team, being a donor and/or asking friends to donate, will assist in making a strike against the most fatal form of breast cancer, inflammatory breast cancer. Because of your generosity, the women of Ohio, and even surrounding states, will have better odds to beat this disease.

In memory of Dr. Lori Gill Grennan,
Kara Kent

Join us for MD Anderson’s Boot Walk to End Cancer^®. We hope you will participate in the eighth annual event either in person or virtually as we raise awareness of our mission to end cancer in Texas, across the nation and around the world.

Every day we are focused on Making Cancer History^® by supporting patients and their loved ones throughout their cancer journey and advancing research discoveries to slow, stop or prevent cancer. You can join us in person on Saturday, Nov. 4, in the Texas Medical Center or walk 1.2 miles in the comfort of your neighborhood, demonstrating that together, we can give cancer the boot!

This annual fundraiser provides support for patient programs, research, prevention and education at MD Anderson — and 100% of funds raised by participants directly support MD Anderson’s mission to end cancer.

There is no registration fee and no minimum fundraising requirement. However, we encourage all participants to fundraise! When you register for the Boot Walk, you will receive free online and mobile fundraising tools, as well as staff support to help you raise funds and awareness among your friends, families and communities. Teams who raise $25,000 or more and individuals who raise $10,000 or more can designate the funds they raise to a specific
MD Anderson program or project of their choice.

On Saturday, Nov. 4, 2023 put on your favorite pair of boots — cowboy, rain, combat or other — and join thousands across the country for this year’s Boot Walk. All ages are welcome to participate. There’s fun for the entire family!

Together, we’ll give cancer the boot. Register now.
