Payton's Run

Event Overview

This is a Cancer Awareness run/walk in honor of Payton Lane Weatherwax Buckland. Payton was diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma in June of 2020. On November 20, 2022, he became our angel. This run/walk was created to captivate Payton Lane's strength and love.

Payton's Strength

• Remarkable Resilience: His strength was unbelievable: two weeks before he was diagnosed with "stage 4", he ran 5 miles with me, he only stopped because the road ended, not because he was sick, not because he was tired.
• Courageous Spirit: On another occasion while he was receiving chemo treatments he went for a mile run with me, the next day he came home and said "Welp, Doc said I can't go for runs at this point in my treatments." again not because he was sick or tired simply because the Dr said.
• Adventurous Nature: He stood tall and was always on the go, ready for new adventures.
• Family Love: His love for his family was beautiful and expressed with compassion and laughter.

Legacy and Scholarship
