‘Being one team’ against cancer: Local 10 News joins Dolphins challenge

MIAMI – Two-time cancer survivor Janine Stanwood, a long-time member of the Local 10 News family, is wearing number 2473 as she participates in the Dolphins Cancer Challenge.

Stanwood is running on Saturday at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens and fundraising in memory of her father, who died of a rare form of blood cancer.

“This day is really emblematic of us in South Florida really being one team,” Stanwood said.

The event’s races fund life-saving cancer research at the University of Miami Health System’s Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center.

Javier Sanchez, the executive director of the Dolphins Challenge, said the event has raised more than $50 million since its inception 12 years ago.

“You don’t have to have cancer to fight cancer,” Sanchez said.
