Saturday marked the ending of the Miami Dolphins sixth annual Dolphins Cancer Challenge, where over 3,300 bikers, runners, walkers and volunteers all came together for one purpose: to tackle cancer and raise money for research to find a better cure for this heartbreaking disease.
"The Dolphins Cancer Challenge is about everyone working together to fight cancer,” Miami Dolphins President & CEO and DCC VI Chair Tom Garfinkel said. “100 percent of participant fundraising goes directly to Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center for essential cancer research that changes lives."
The event began with a kickoff party Friday evening, where all the participants had their fill of food and got to interact with some of their favorite Miami Dolphins players before the real challenge began before dawn early Saturday morning.
