This Contest's Cause
Castaways
Against Cancer
Raised through this contest
$0Castaways Against Cancer is a 100% volunteer non-profit fighting cancer through a series of extraordinary physical journeys — kayakers paddle 160 miles from Miami to Key West over seven days, runners relay 170 miles over two days, and cyclists pedal the same 170 miles in a single grueling day.
What began in 2000 with four sea-hippies on the water has grown into a powerful movement raising millions for groundbreaking cancer research.
Fueled by founder Steve O'Brien's mission to "light a candle rather than curse the darkness," every mile they travel keeps hope alive for a cancer-free world.
