Steps for CancerSupport
Around the world in 20 days CHALLENGE!
Steps for CancerSupport is a new awareness and fundraising challenge organised by ESCA CancerSupport (ESCA CS). One of our main goals is to replace the funds lost due to the cancellation of our annual fundraiser Paddle for CancerSupport which has been taking place every September since 2007 and usually covers around 35% of our budget.

- Register with a group of your friends together in a team of 10 for a discounted registration of CHF 250.
- Ask your employer to register a corporate team for CHF 1000.
- If you can’t participate – Make a Donation
Important Dates:
Registration for the challenge will be open from 1 July 2020 until 11 August 2020.
The Steps for CancerSupport Challenge will start 18 August and finish Sunday 6 September at midnight CET.
How it works:
We are using the MyPacer app (www.mypacer.com) to track our collective progress.
Once we have received your registration payment, we will send you instructions on how to download the app and set up your team.
If you are entering a team, please give the email addresses for team participants in the comments box so that we can send them a link to download the Pacer app. (Each team member needs to add the Pacer app to their phone to take part in the challenge.)
