About the Race

• Historical Context: In 2001, 29 year old Brad Kaminsky passed away after a long fight with brain cancer. Before he died, Brad’s family and friends promised him that they would never stop fighting for a cure for cancer, and that fight continues today with the 18th annual Super Heroes of Hope Race.
• Foundation Contributions: Since 2001, the Brad Kaminsky Foundation has donated almost two million dollars to cancer research.
• Organizational Leadership: The foundation is run by Brad’s sister, Lisa Millar. Lisa continues her brother’s fight every day by helping those impacted and organizing events all over the country.
• Awards and Recognitions: Lisa has received numerous awards and recognitions for her tireless contributions to the field of cancer research, but her most important achievement is keeping her promise to her brother.
