Ian's Run

🏃‍♂️ Join Us for Ian's Run!

Join us on Saturday, October 11th for Ian's Run, benefitting the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

💔 Our Story

We’re Steven and Alison Dimitratos and we’ve started Ian’s Run in the memory of our son Ian Thomas Dimitratos. At our 20-week anatomy scan, we discovered Ian had some abnormalities. After further testing, we learned that Ian had Trisomy 13, a genetic disorder where there is an extra 13th chromosome. Unfortunately, Trisomy 13 causes the brain to not develop properly and there is no cure. The doctors informed us that his chances of surviving birth were low, but we just continued to hope and pray to meet him. Ian was born on October 4, 2020, and he lived 7 hours before passing away peacefully.
