In 2013, more than 5,000 people joined in the first
Million Mile Run (last year’s name). $500,000 was
raised from all of the teams. We are certain that we can
beat last year’s total this September.

To show solidarity with cancer patients, during
September 2014, Childhood Cancer Awareness Month,
10,000 individuals and teams will each cover 100 miles
over the course of the month.
10,000 Teams x 100 miles = 1 Million Miles

During September 2014, Childhood Cancer Awareness
Month, the second annual Alex’s Million Mile event will
take place. Being a virtual event it can happen
anywhere and anytime throughout the month.

How does it work?
Each person or team sets a goal of completing a certain
amount of miles walked, run or cycled throughout the
month of September.
There is no requirement for the amount of miles that
you complete. Each mile counts, so try your best to
record as many miles as possible.

6. Alex’s Million Mile
Each participant will get pledges from family and
friends.
1 Million Miles x $1 in pledges = $1 Million
(Look how easy it is to raise $1 Million!)

7. Alex’s Million Mile
Why a million miles?
A few reasons- because a billion miles would just be crazy...or would it?
Hmmm.
Alex said she was going to raise a million dollars with a lemonade stand
which was thought to be crazy at the time.
Because a parent that has a child with cancer would go a million miles to
find a cure, so we are willing to go a million miles too.

8. Alex’s Million Mile
Can I ride my bike to participate?
Yes, you can! This year, miles earned from cycling will count
towards your total, so get your bike ready!
How does running a million miles help kids with cancer?
For each donation made, there will be more funding for
cutting edge research, which will help many children in need
of a cure.

9. Alex’s Million Mile
I can't run a hundred miles in a month, can I still
participate?
If you mean you can’t “run” 100 miles, of course, walking and
cycling is fine. We just want to get to 1 million miles.
If you mean you can’t make it 100 miles yourself, then just
get a team together, you get to combine your miles.

10. Alex’s Million Mile
This sounds difficult. Will it be tough?
For some people this will be very difficult, but, if you
persevere, the reward in the end will be worth every step!
Also, it won’t be nearly as difficult as what a child with cancer
goes through.
Will this be fun?
We think it will be a lot of fun. Working with a team of
10,000 to change the lives of kids with cancer. What could be
better?

11. Alex’s Million Mile
Can 1 million miles be reached?...Yes!

12. Alex’s Million Mile
What could $1 million do to change the childhood
cancer world?
$1 million will fund as many as 10 childhood cancer research
projects looking for new and less toxic treatments for children.
