Next year, I want to plan to have a cancer walk that students can participate in, but I have never been in charge of planning a cancer walk before. What advice do you have? Who can I get in contact with to do this? Should other people be allowed into the cancer walk? Should we put together teams to walk that day? Any suggestions are appreciated and will be taken seriously.

call your local cancer foundation. they have all the answers
And what do you hope to accomplish with this cancer walk. Are you of the opinion that people are unaware that cancer exists. Do you hope to enlighten them to the ravages of cancer that you apparently just learned about. You people with your cancer awareness seminars and cancer walks put me in mind of the newly saved Christians who get right in your face and in an effort to spread his newly acquired faith asks, “Have you heard the good news?”
Well, of course we have. And, unless those you hope to enlighten are complete fools they have likewise heard of cancer. If they are of any age at all they likely have had a go-round with it themselves or through a friend or loved one.
You people and your useless do-gooder nonsense just make me tired. Do something useful and clean up the litter along a roadway some where.
Have the walk going on all day long (maybe even all day and night) at the track, or any large hard surface. Have participants get pledges from teachers, parents, businesses, neighbors, etc to walk for a certain amount of time….or a flat donation. So, say the participant’s neighbor, Joe, agrees to pay $0.50 for every minute the participant walks. If the participant walks for a total of 3 hours then Joe will pay $90. Or Joe can just donate $50 up front.
Like the answer above me already said…you should check with the American Cancer Society to check out their suggestions.
