Bring your family and friends out to run or walk in memory or in honor of someone fighting cancer. Part of the money raised will go into the care fund to help local families in their time of need.

This year’s race will be in honor of Hewitt Kellams, who has been in Riley Children’s hospital since July 2. He was diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension and tetrasomy 9p. His parents have been back and forth between home in Orange County and the hospital. Some of the money raised this year will go to Alyssa and Zach to help offset the costs of his stay.
