Join us on Saturday, May 10, 2025 for the annual Strides Against Bladder Cancer! This is a non-timed walk where you can walk as far as a 3K or as little as one step. We encourage you to bring your family, friends, and dogs to this important event. Help us raise funds and awareness for bladder cancer research! Whether you walk, volunteer, or donate, your contribution makes a significant impact. Each participant will receive a t-shirt at check-in. For more information, contact Lucy Zhou at [email protected].
All proceeds benefit bladder cancer research and education at the University of Minnesota Institute for Prostate and Urologic Cancers (IPUC).
Bladder cancer is the 7th-most common cancer in the U.S. and the 3rd-most common cancer in men with 65,000 new cases each year and over 500,000 living with the disease in the U.S. The University of Minnesota is at the forefront of research to identify early warning signs, discover better treatments, and work toward a potential cure. Some examples of our research progress in bladder cancer include identifying new urine-based diagnostics tests, treating early-stage cancer to preserve the bladder, and identifying precision medicine strategies to use chemotherapy more effectively.
