Lewes, DE

Last year we celebrated 10 years of serving hundreds of families. In our 11th year we feel the need to begin a new event to honor those who have inspired us continue to fight for pediatric patient rights, access and care to achieve a better quality of life.

On the morning of May 30th we will gather together at The American Legion post 17's beautiful outdoor pavilion to run or walk the Cape Henlopen State Park Trail in Lewes. We will honor the courage of children who have been forced to fight cancer. Every step keeps their memory alive and supports families in need. Together we'll raise awareness far and wide for childhood cancer research and care.
