Day of Celebration

Welcome to the Virtual Hope Walks Day of Celebration!

While we won’t be walking side-by-side this year, we will still be walking together. We are so grateful to all of our walkers, donors and sponsors for making this year’s 12th Annual Hope Walks so special.  Thank you for participating and for raising over $100,000 and counting, to benefit the Mass General Cancer Center at Newton-Wellesley!
