My Story…
Dana and Vance Stallings started The Kilwins Ice Cream Run in 2013 to give back to the community, and more importantly to Clarke School for Hearing and Speech. Haley, their oldest daughter, was diagnosed with moderate-to-severe hearing loss at the age of three and was fitted with bilateral hearing aids. Haley attended Clarke School in Jacksonville where she was taught to listen and speak in a hearing world.
This year the race is moving to the Stallings’ new Kilwins location in St Johns, Florida, and will benefit the Dream Big! Foundation, a non-profit organization supporting families facing financial challenges due to cancer. In January 2025, their niece, Miah Simmons, was diagnosed with a very rare and aggressive cancer. Miah was scheduled to start radiation therapy on March 12, but suffered a severe brain bleed the week before and passed away at the age of 23. We will be running for Miah, and we hope that you will come join us to help families battling cancer. Proceeds will benefit Dream Big! Foundation and other local charities.
