Run For Cancer
Website for a non-profit organization that raises money for cancer research.
Approached by a client with a deep commitment to cancer awareness and support, my team and I embarked on an exciting project. The client's vision was to create Run for Cancer, a platform designed to enhance awareness, support fundraising efforts, and cultivate community engagement through running events focused on cancer.
Our ambition was to develop a platform that was not only effective but also functional and resonant with the client’s vision. This project was more than just a job; it was an opportunity to contribute meaningfully to a cause deeply rooted in community and support
Overview
Problem
Developing a central platform for raising cancer awareness, engaging communities, and fundraising through running events.
Outcome
We developed Run for Cancer, a prototype website uniting runners, survivors, and supporters. It features event registration, donation options, and community sharing, all achieved in two weeks.
Feature 1
A more gentle dedicated donation page
We added a donation page that helps people know what they are donating for before asking the donation. Too often, nonprofit pages jump to donate button without sharing context or building trust. We address this simultaneously by journeying along with the visitor to give a seamless and unimposed experience.
Feature 2
Interactive Event Calendar
Our interactive event calendar allows users to easily find and participate in upcoming runs and events. By offering a visual and user-friendly interface, participants can stay informed and engaged with our community's activities, fostering a deeper connection and commitment to the cause.
Feature 3
Personalized Story Sharing
Our platform offers a personalized story-sharing section where individuals can share their experiences with cancer. This feature not only humanizes the cause but also builds a supportive community, encouraging others to participate and share their own stories, creating a powerful and emotionally resonant space.
Feature 4
Real-time Fundraising Tracking
We integrated a real-time fundraising tracker, providing instant updates on donation progress. This feature not only enhances transparency but also motivates and excites donors and participants by showing the direct impact of their contributions, further driving engagement and support.

Challenge
The journey to creating a unified platform for cancer awareness and support was enlightening. Balancing the intricacies of community engagement with the technical demands of a user-friendly platform taught us the importance of empathy-driven design. It was a lesson in how technology can bridge gaps and bring people together for a cause.
Achievement
The launch of Run for Cancer was more than just meeting a deadline; it was a realization of a vision. Seeing our platform connect runners, survivors, and supporters in a meaningful way reaffirmed our belief in the power of digital platforms to foster real-world impact. The positive response and active participation exceeded our expectations, making every challenge along the way worthwhile.
