Description

Becky's Warriors is a 100% volunteer based grass roots charity that strives to help ease some of the financial burden that comes with a cancer fight and inspire hope and courage to families who are dealing with cancer. What started as a fundraiser to help a friend battling breast cancer has turned into a continuous journey to support families affected by cancer. Our 5k and 1 mile walk is just one event we host throughout the year to raise funds for families in need. 

Becky's Warriors was developed to honor the memory of Rebecca Eaton Lopez by inspiring hope and courage to Marian Catholic families who are fighting cancer.  Read more about Becky here.
