Charity of the Month: American Cancer Society ? Team DetermiNation

The American Cancer Society Team DetermiNation is the Fleet Feet Sports – Chicago Charity of the Month for May.

For more than 100 years, The American Cancer Society has been leading the fight to end cancer. With your support, we have helped usher in an era where more people survive cancer than ever before. By translating our research findings into action, we've seen a 20% decline in US cancer death rates since the early 1990s. Join us to help finish the fight.
