What a great day to reach the #FinishCancer line- congratulations to all of the #HoodToCoast2026 particpants! A profound thank you to the 82 fundraising teams who collectively raised more than $1.16M in support of cancer research at @providence cancer institute! 🙏
At the #HoodToCoast exchange near downtown Portland & ran into the #CancerCrushers, an incredible team of @Providence patients & caregivers, including the indomitable @roth_becky. Lots of people run this race who have survived cancer but few run it without fibulas-she’s fibulous!
To the @h2c Race Series team, Dan Floyd and especially to all of the runners, volunteers, donors, and supporters: thank you for going the distance for cancer research.
Race Day! #HoodToCoast, the mother of all relays is underway! Honored to be running in van #2 with the @providence #FinishCancer team, an amazing group of caregivers from our cancer institute and the Earle A. Chiles Research Institute. Go team!
