Run Of Hope 2019
Hello maggots!
It's the time of year for the 11th annual Run of Hope in Seattle.
Sunday, October 6th, 9am
Seward Park, 5902 Lake Washington Boulevard S. Seattle, WA
5k run or 3k walk (our family will be walking with a large group at 10:10am)
Run of Hope is a run/walk that benefits the Pediatric Brain Tumor Research Fund. The Research Fund goes directly to fund research at Seattle Children's/University of Washington to work on better treatments for children with brain cancer. You will not meet a better group of people who tirelessly work to help kids and families through the cancer journey.
Brain cancer is the deadliest form of childhood cancers. The kids that survive treatment deal with lifelong side effects from brain radiation, surgery, and the different chemotherapy drugs they must take to eliminate the cancer.
My son, Roarke was diagnosed in November 2017 with a Pure Germinoma tumor in the center of his brain. After a grueling 4 months of chemo and 6 weeks of proton radiation to his brain, the tumor was destroyed. We have MRIs every 3 months and so far every one has shown he has no evidence of disease. We hope and pray this continues. He is recovering well and gaining his strength back, but it's a long, slow road. Brain radiation causes fatigue in almost every patient as well as a multitude of other side effects.
This community was very generous last year and I'm hoping I can count on you again this year. I would love for locals to come walk/run with us! You will see the love and passion these doctors have to help save kids. We will have a tent with a Team Roarke banner and lots of coffee.
Signup for the run/walk ($35 entry fee goes directly to fund)

I can fully support this. If you're in the Seattle area and enjoy organized runs, this is probably the coolest 5k around. It's a super good vibe. So, sign up, join Team Roarke, post a link to the fundraising page on the social media feed of your choice to raise more awareness and possibly some financial donations. You won't regret it.

Thank you for your donations so far!
For those who have not donated yet, please know that this is the most direct way to help researchers find better treatments for kids. They need our help. Research does not get enough funding. 4% of funding is not enough.
For the next 5 days, a donor is matching funds, dollar for dollar, up to $50,000!!!! This is a huge boost for this charity. Please consider donating. Thank you.

One year ago today, Roarke spoke in front of 2,000 people at the 2018 Run of Hope and shared his story. It was a huge deal for a kid less than 6 months out of treatment to get up on stage and share his feelings with the world.
Please consider donating to the the team. Thank you.

Thank you to all who donated and ran! Great to see you out there SirVic!
Our team raised over $20,000 to support brain tumor research. I really appreciate all the support. You can still donate up to the end of the year. Thanks again!
