UCLA, known for its blue and gold colors, was suddenly flooded with purple.
The Hirshberg Foundation for Pancreatic Cancer Research hosted its 29th Annual Los Angeles Cancer Challenge 5K Walk/Run on Oct 25.
The event was first held in 1998 in Century City as a way for participants to honor loved ones, support survivors and raise awareness for disease research. The LA Cancer Challenge has raised over $13 million for pancreatic cancer research, according to the Hirshberg Foundation for Pancreatic Cancer Research.
The five kilometer track stretched along through UCLA’s campus, taking participants to Dodd Hall and Carnesale Commons, and beginning and ending in Wilson Plaza.
