MADISON, Wis. (WMTV) - People walked, ran and biked for the tenth annual Badger Challenge fundraiser at UW Health Eastpark Medical Center on Sunday.

The challenge raises money to support cancer research and treatments at the UW Health Carbone Cancer Center.

The money raised from the event goes directly towards helping patients and working towards finding a cure for cancer, Badger Challenge Director and Carbone Cancer Center professor Derick Wheeler said.

“In the beginning, we had about 500 people and we’ve crested to about 3,000 this year,” Wheeler said. “We’ve raised over five to six million dollars for the Carbone Cancer Center and we’ve really grown with adding the walk this year, and we hope to grow to 5,000 people in the coming years.”
