My Story…
Since my son Andrew was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia last year at Akron Children's Hospital, I have turned to running to help find peace and ready myself for the challenges of supporting a five-year-old battling cancer.
Andrew and our family have found an incredible partner in that fight with the phenomenal people at Akron Children's Hospital! They have taken an awful experience, no family should ever have to endure and embraced us. They are healing Andrew, supporting us, and walking with us on every step of his journey.
Last year thanks to the incredible people in our lives, Andrew's story was able to help capture the attention of people around the world and raise nearly $20,000 to support Akron Children's Hospital!

And we'll be back again this year to help raise more funds for Akron Children's! https://www.wkyc.com/video/news/local/akron/chris-hemsworth-surprise-message-ohio-boy-battling-cancer/95-9d751687-6685-414e-be47-336eace2327f
Our family has experienced love and support we could never imagine through the incredible caregivers at Akron Children's Hospital. I could not even begin to imagine where we would be if it was not for them.
Any funds you can offer to help support this incredible hospital would be greatly appreciated!
