His team is dedicating their efforts in memory of Keira Kilbane and Kelly Kinney, whose lives inspired them to work harder in hopes of finding a cure for childhood and adolescent cancer. Dr. Huang is also a three-time Alex’s Million Mile participant – he was also a team captain in 2013 and 2014! This year his team has raised more than $3,200 and gone nearly 1,700 miles!
