Beebe Miracle Mile to celebrate cancer survivorship May 31

Each year, Beebe Healthcare hosts its Miracle Mile event to unite people whose lives have been touched by cancer and celebrate survivorship.

This year, the event will be held at 9 a.m., Saturday, May 31, at Beebe’s Specialty Surgical Hospital, 19161 Healthy Way, Rehoboth Beach.

Walkers can meet at the Specialty Surgical Hospital and walk a lap together around the Abessinio Health Campus.

“The Miracle Mile is more than just an event – it's a powerful reminder that no one faces cancer alone,” said Maurice Winkfield, executive director of Beebe Oncology Services. “It creates a beautiful moment where patients, families and care providers come together to celebrate strength, share hope and honor each person's unique journey.”

The Miracle Mile event supports Beebe’s Cancer Patient Special Needs Fund, which is facilitated by Beebe Medical Foundation. The program provides financial assistance to cancer patients who are facing personal hardships, and who may have difficulty paying for prescriptions, co-pays, medications, living expenses and transportation.

“Every cancer patient's path is different, and their needs extend far beyond medical care,” said Rita Williams, MA, CHES, NBC-HWC, manager of oncology psychosocial services at Beebe. “Through our special needs fund, supported by Miracle Mile, we're able to address crucial barriers to care and ensure our patients can focus on what matters most – their healing journey.”

The Miracle Mile event is open to the public. To register, go to beebehealthcare.org. For more information, call 302-291-6707.
