MIAMI (WSVN) – The Miami Heat and the Baptist Health Foundation teamed up this weekend for the annual Bounce Back from Cancer fundraiser.
Dozens of participants dribbled a ball two miles to the finish line at the Kaseya Center in downtown Miami on Saturday.
Former Heat team captain Udonis Haslem has paved the way for an important cause.
“I lost my mother about 13 years ago, my father about three or four years ago, then I lost my mother-in-law about three months ago, so it affects me on the highest level ” Haslem said. “Sometimes it feels alone, but I think the only way to overcome that, and the only way to win, is to collaborate. »
Bounce Back from Cancer has raised over $6 million for cancer research and innovation since 2018.
“That’s what those dollars are for.” This helps us provide the best treatments and medications to serve our community,” said Dr. Manmeet Ahluwalia of Baptist Health South Florida.
