“I’m pleased to share that the 2024 Fit2Be Cancer Free challenge is off to an incredible start! Our more than 18,800 participants have already racked up over 68,000 miles. Wow!

We also had 74 CEOs participate in yesterday’s one-day CEO step challenge. In total, the group accumulated an impressive 3,131,916 steps! Congratulations to our top three finishers:

• Ethan Brown of Beyond Meat.
• Juan Ignacio Diddi of Bristol Myers Squibb.
• Craig Robinson of FlowPlay.

Special shout out to Ethan, who logged a record 189,914 steps, and our “Most Socially Active” award winner Steve O’Loughlin! And of course, congratulations to ACS’ own William Dahut who walked more than 73,000 steps. Remember there are still 20 days left in our employee challenge! You can support the challenge and check out the leaderboard here.”
