Annual Cal for the Cure Cancer Awareness Walk
The Cal for the Cure Cancer Awareness walk was held on Wednesday, October 10, 2012 in honor and support of colleagues, loved ones, friends and others who have been touched by cancer. Thank you to all of those who came out to walk. A special thank you also to the Health*Matters walking group leaders and Cal Cheerleaders for their support and for leading the group walk.

On Wednesday, May 23, UC Berkeley faculty and staff celebrated the third annual, system-wide UC Walks event to raise awareness for committing to walk a minimum of 30 minutes a day as part of National Employee Health and Fitness Month.

Over 600 staff, faculty, and retirees walked a total of 18,390 minutes or 1,226 miles. That's the equivalent of 47 marathon distances walked or the distance from Berkeley, California to Chicago, IL! (A marathon is 26.2 miles.)
