The Legacy of Lizzy

At the tender young age of 10, Lizzy's last wish before she passed from bone cancer was to donate her tumors for research. Today, Lizzy's tumor is all over the world being researched in hopes of finding a cure for pediatric cancer.

• Statistics: Pediatric cancer is the leading cause of death by disease in children. 1 in 5 children in the U.S. will not survive.
• Purpose: This is why we run/walk to support St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and Lizzy’s Walk of Faith Foundation.
• Remembering Lizzy: You will cross the finish line for Lizzy who never got to finish her race herself.
• Solidarity: Join us in our faith to put an end to pediatric cancer.

Thank You

Much love and thanks from John and Jen, and we can’t wait to see you!
