The Boot Walk to End Cancer is a peer-to-peer fundraising program which supports MD Anderson's mission to end cancer. It consists of a non-competitive 1.2-mile walk. All participants are encouraged to wear their favorite pair of boots to symbolize giving cancer the boot.

Yes. Children can participate if they're registered. Registration is free, and there is no fundraising minimum.

While you don't have to wear boots, we think it will be much more fun if you do!

Boot Walk to End Cancer is utilizing a new platform, so all participants must create a new account in 2024. If you have customized page details or contacts you would like us to pull, please email BootWalk@MDAnderson.org for assistance.

Absolutely! Forming a Boot Walk team makes the experience even more fun. If you already registered as an individual, please email us at BootWalk@MDAnderson.org and we would be more than delighted to create/adjust your team for you.

Team captains customize the team page, recruit team members, motivate them to fundraise and share event details with the team. Some team captains go above and beyond and create team T-shirts or organize a team fundraising event!

You can access tools on your fundraising dashboard under the Toolkit tab. 

There is no registration fee. All participants and teams can focus their efforts solely on raising funds to end cancer. 

While fundraising is not required, it is one of the most impactful ways you can support MD Anderson's mission to end cancer.

Is there a fundraising minimum?

There is no fundraising minimum to participate. 100% of all funds you raise will directly support research, education and prevention programs at MD Anderson.
