A nonprofit organization is helping combat cancer, one step at a time. The 13th Annual Walk-Off For Cancer fundraiser, hosted by the Anthony Rizzo Family Foundation, took place Sunday at Pine Trails Park in Parkland. The event featured a 5K run, 5K walk, food, drinks and much more. Participants also had an opportunity to take a picture with Rizzo. The Major League Baseball player is a cancer survivor and grew up in Parkland. Thousands of people turned out to support the cause. “It means a lot. This community, to have this many people show up for us, it means so much,” said Abby Suarez, executive director of the Anthony Rizzo Family Foundation. “It really shows how incredible the Parkland community is, and how much of an impact the Rizzo family has on the people back here with giving back and helping families through a cancer diagnosis.” The event raised nearly $1 million to support children and families affected by cancer. The money will also fund research at facilities like Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital.
