In this uplifting episode of Bladder Cancer Matters, survivors Sandy Weicher and Danny Gereg share how the Walk to End Bladder Cancer became the turning point they didn't know they needed—a place where strangers become family, hope replaces fear and every mile walked fuels research and critical patient programs.

Sandy describes the moment she arrived at the New York City Walk, surrounded by the skyline and a sea of survivors, caregivers and clinicians, and instantly felt connected to something bigger than her diagnosis. Danny talks about showing up lost and anxious at the Columbus Walk, only to find a community that carried him through his darkest moments and inspired him to fight for his health. Together with host Rick Bangs, they show how the Walk isn't just an event—it's a lifeline, a celebration of resilience, and a reminder that no one faces bladder cancer alone. Their stories will make you smile, tear up, and—most of all—want to join in.
