More than a thousand people gathered at Diman Regional Vocational Technical High School on May 15, 2010 to for the 12th Annual Get Moving walk to raise money for the  St. Anne's Hospital regional cancer program. Craig A. Jesiolowski, president of Saint Anne’s Hospital, introduced Karyl Benoit and Kyra Cordeiro, organizers of the event, to get the walkers started on the 3.5 mile route through the streets around the high school in the City's North End. Fundraising teams led by Title Sponsor Anthony Cordeiro and his team from the Cordeiro Insurance Agency helped to raise over $152,678 at the event, which, combined with the $784,311 raised in the past ten years, brings the total raised to over $1 million in donations.
