In the heart of Washington, D.C., the Adrenal Cure Collective is set to host its inaugural ACC Warrior Weekend, a groundbreaking event dedicated to raising awareness and funds for Adrenocortical Carcinoma (ACC). Scheduled for the end of October, this weekend promises to be filled with hope, inspiration, and community support.
The event will feature a black-tie gala, a Patient Panel, and an invigorating 5K race, all aimed at bringing together patients, families, and supporters in a united front against ACC. This rare and aggressive cancer has long been overshadowed by more common forms of the disease, but the ACC Warrior Weekend seeks to change that narrative.
The founder of the Adrenal Cure Collective, Hope Law, has transformed her personal battle with ACC into a movement for change. Diagnosed with this rare cancer, she decided to turn her pain into purpose by igniting a campaign to fund research and find a cure. “One in a Million” is not just a slogan; it’s a call to action for everyone to contribute to this cause. By raising awareness and encouraging donations, the ACC Warrior Weekend aims to inspire 1 million people to give just $1 each to support crucial research.
This event is more than just a fundraiser; it’s a celebration of resilience and community. With the black-tie gala serving as a platform for sharing stories and experiences, attendees will have the chance to hear from those directly affected by ACC. The Patient Panel will allow survivors and caregivers to discuss their journeys, showcasing strength and solidarity in the face of adversity.
