. Choose a walk that is a comfortable distance for you. Cancer walks range in the length of the route. Some are accomplished over reasonably short distances, while others stretch out over a few days. If you have a difficult time walking one mile, don't sign up to walk for ten miles (unless you sign up well in advance and safely work up to it). If the distance of a walk is too far for you, check to make sure that a shorter, alternate route is not also planned. This is a part of some walkathons to make sure most everyone can participate.
2. Choose a walk that supports a specific cause you are passionate about. There are many forms of cancer. Some walks are conducted to support the fight against a specific form of cancer, while other walks support organizations that address a large number of cancer diseases.
3. Choose a walk that supports a charity you are comfortable with. There are many charitable organizations raising funds through walkathons. Each is different in how they use the money raised by the event. A little research regarding the organization can give you a peace of mind about the time, energy and money you provide.
4. Don't feel you are limited to participating in one cancer walk. A significant percent of the people who participate in one walkathon are known to participate in others.
Even if you are not a cancer researcher or doctor, there is something that can be done to support the fight against cancer. Find a cancer walk near you and support it in any way you can.
