​​ Fit2Be Cancer Free is a virtual activity challenge that rallies CEOs and employees to get active and promote cancer prevention in the workplace. Dozens of companies are ready to cheer on their CEO and other executives during the one-day CEO challenge on Thursday, April 18, that also kicks-off the three-week employee challenge that runs April 18 - May 9.

CEOs will have a full 24 hours on April 18 to log as many steps as possible. Our own Chief Scientific Officer Dr. Bill Dahut will represent ACS in the challenge.
