Charitable Cause

This year, we will be raising money for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, The Osteosarcoma Institute, and Lizzy’s Walk of Faith Foundation. Lizzy’s Walk of Faith Foundation not only supports these wonderful organizations but also many local families affected by pediatric cancer. Lizzy’s Walk of Faith Foundation is classified as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.

Lizzy's Legacy

• Description: At the tender young age of 10, Lizzy's last wish before she passed from bone cancer was to donate her tumors for research.
• Impact: Lizzy expressed her desire to prevent other children from experiencing the same hardships she faced.
• Research: Today, Lizzy's tumor is researched globally 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.

Why We Walk

This is why we run/walk to support St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and Lizzy's Walk of Faith Foundation. This is why you and I will walk with faith to finally put an end to pediatric cancer. You will cross the finish line for my Lizzy who never got to finish her race herself. And for all the other children fighting pediatric cancer.

See You There!

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