Walk With CFL Fans Fight Cancer

Every step makes a difference

Across Canada, members of the CFL Family are walking to honour loved ones, celebrate survivors, remember those we've lost, and raise funds for cancer research and care.

Whether you're participating in an organized event, creating your own challenge, or joining one of our featured walks, every step helps make a diffence.

There is no minimum distance and no registration required to walk with us. Walk you way, in your community, at your pace.

If you'd like to your walk featured on our website, we'd love to hear from you!

The CFLFFC Labour Day 65K Challenge with Connor and Dallas

Every year, Connor and Dallas take on an incredible challenge in support of CFL Fans Fight Cancer, walking approximately 65 kilometers from Toronto to Hamilton in the days leading up to the Labour Day Classic.

 

The journey is completed over several days, covering roughly 20 kilometers per day before finishing with a final 5-kilometre walk on game day.

 

What began as a personal challenge has become a CFL Family tradition that brings together fans, supporters, and members of the football community in support of those affected by cancer.

 

Along the way, the pair have received encouragement from CFL legends and members of the football community. One memorable moment came when John Murphy joined them for part of the final stretch, while Michael "Pinball" Clemons stopped by to offer a pep talk before they completed the walk.

 

Join Connor and Dallas — anywhere in Canada!

 

Not everyone can walk from Toronto to Hamilton, but everyone can participate. We invite CFL fans across Canada to join Connor and Dallas by taking part in the CFLFFC Labour Day 65K Challenge from wherever they call home.

 

Choose a distance that is meaningful to you:

• 1 kilometer

• 5 kilometers

• 10 kilometers

• 20 kilometers

• 65 kilometers

• Or any distance that challenges and inspires you

Walk on your own, with family, friends, coworkers, or fellow CFL fans.

 

Participants are encouraged to raise donations in support of CFL Fans Fight Cancer and our annual charity partner. Every step and every dollar helps support cancer patients, survivors, caregivers, and families. Whether you're walking a few blocks, a few kilometres, or the full 65K, you're helping make a difference.

 

Together, we walk. Together, we support. Together, we fight cancer.

CFL Fans Fight Cancer (or CFLFFC for short) is a grassroots movement that has supported local cancer charities across Canada since 2006. Each year, we pick a charity in the Grey Cup host city and dedicate the year's funds to them. We raised $22K in Regina, $41K in Hamilton, $75K in Vancouver and $76K in Winnipeg. 

Want to help? Email cflfansfightcancer@gmail.com or honestly, just do your own thing and submit funds via our Donate page. Folks have done everything from poker tourneys to dunk tanks to watch parties to head shaving. Be creative, and let us know how we can help! 

Our biggest event is a Meet N Greet each Grey Cup Weekend.  However, we've grown into a nationwide grassroots movement with events and donations all year. All are welcome, anywhere, any time! 

We are not a registered charity and we have no structure or administrative costs - just a bunch of people raising money to kick cancer's ass.
