Cancer Active Support Group
2026-04-02 12:00 - 13:00 UTC | NC
In the face of life’s most challenging times, we believe that together, we can keep moving forward. That is why we created the Cancer Active Support Group.
The wisdom and experiences of our peers who have confronted cancer head-on offer invaluable insights, guidance, and comfort. Throwing Bones understands the profound value of these connections and the relief that comes from supporting one another.
Connection is a fundamental part of the human experience, and it becomes even more critical when facing a devastating challenge like cancer. The Cancer Active Support Group by Throwing Bones is here to provide you with the support, knowledge, and strength you need to face cancer head-on and continue moving forward, living a life full of hope, purpose, and vitality.
Join our community today and let’s walk this path together, supporting one another every step of the way. You are not alone.

ASH-Orlando
2025-12-06 - 2025-12-09 | NC
The in-person portion of the 66th ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition has concluded. Register for our virtual experience and receive on-demand extended access to sessions!
In April 1958, the first official meeting of the American Society of Hematology (ASH) was held in Atlantic City, New Jersey, where more than 300 hematologists gathered to discuss clinical and research matters related to blood and blood diseases. Since that initial meeting, ASH has played an active and important role in the development of hematology as a discipline.
For more than six decades, ASH has sponsored its annual meeting, the premier education and scientific event in the field of hematology, and has published the journal Blood, the most cited peer-reviewed publication in the field.

We often find relief in supporting others too. Throwing Bones’ support groups help all of us move through the cancer landscape.
Connection is a core part of the human experience, even moreso when facing a devastating challenge like cancer. Join us for this monthly event!

Not-A-Sprint 3, 6, 12 Hour Races
2025-08-31 | Forest City, NC
12 hour, 6 hour or 3 hour endurance race!
The race will be a 4.17 mile out and 4.17 mile back course (8.34 miles round trip) beginning at POPS and following the Thermal Belt Rail Trail North to Spindale, and then back to POPS. There will be one aid station at Mill Town Brewing, and one self-serve aid/H2O station in the middle of the course.
There is a measly 95 feet of elevation over the entire course and it is paved the entire way. There will be few road crossings. Volunteers will be on hand to direct runners where necessary, but runners need to be aware of their surroundings at these intersections.
The course is partially to completely shaded on about 35% of the course which should help significantly with September temperatures!
The first runners will leave the Pavilion on Park Square (POPS) at 6am. The first wave will run 12 hours from 6am to 6pm. The second wave will run 6 hours from 6:30am to 12:30pm. The third wave will run 3 hours from 7:00am to 10:00am.
There will be food, water and electrolytes available at every aid station, and various food choices throughout the day.
