Step up to take cancer down
How many steps does it take to cure blood cancer?
We won’t know until it happens, but when you register for Blood Cancer United’s Big Climb, you can help us get closer!
From Boston to Houston to Seattle, our community is climbing iconic buildings and arenas all over the country to give patients, survivors, and families the support they need at every step of a diagnosis.
Find your climbHow it works
Choose your climb.
Scale the stairs of an iconic building or stadium in your city and take steps toward a world without blood cancer. Registration is free until 30 days before your event.

To climb, participants commit to raising at least $150 ($50 for youth ages 8–17) in support of Blood Cancer United. Your fundraising fuels research, patient support, and hope for families nationwide. We’ll set you up for success with tools, templates, social resources, and guides. Plus local Big Climb staff are ready to help you every step of the way.
