The leaderboards are heating up! 🔥

Today is the second to last day of the 2026 EMF Distance Challenge, and this community is showing up in a BIG way. 💪 Fundraising totals are growing and the competition is getting closer by the day.

We’ve already surpassed last year’s fundraising total, and with just about $50k left to reach our $1.7 MILLION goal, the momentum is building quickly. 👏

There’s still time to make your move! Can your team or organization climb the rankings? Let’s finish strong and keep the momentum going, because every mile logged and every dollar raised helps leave cancer behind. 💙
