My Story…
This year, I will be running the half marathon hoping to raise money for the Melina Michelle Edenfield foundation helping to find a cure for pediatric brain tumors. Melina Michelle Edenfield — a joyful, energetic, and brilliant little four-year-old — was diagnosed with a deadly childhood brain tumor called Diffuse Midline Glioma (DMG). Despite initial hope from the doctors that radiation treatment might extend her already limited prognosis, the tumor was one of the most aggressive the doctors had seen, and just a month and two days later — on June 24 , 2020 she passed away. In her memory, her family has formed this foundation to help fund research to help find a cure. Please consider donating to this amazing organization. All funds go directly to research.
Donate to help Brian raise money for 2025 FirstEnergy Akron Marathon, Half Marathon, & Team Relay’s fundraising campaign.
