This September, I will Be Bold & Go Gold during Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.

What better way to support cancer research and drive awareness to one of the leading causes of death for children under the age of 15.  Join us as we walk/run/exercise to reach our distance goals towards 1,000,000 miles! 

Our team, "Make me Stronger: Little Heroes" has joined with Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation to contribute our steps towards a Million Miles!  You can join our team and add your own mileage challenge for the month of September.  If you choose, you can also help fundraise and/or have others pledge your miles, to contribute to Cancer Research Foundations. 

Why is this important to us!

Since we have been in elementary school, our close friend, Sean Ries has continued to battle Brain Cancer.  We have supported him as friends and as a community as he underwent surgeries, radiation, therapy, testing, MRIs and daily medication.  He is our community hero; a true warrior that battles everyday over the past 8 years+. 

“This is an important cause to me because I cannot relate exactly to Sean, so this is a way I can support him.” (Dylan P.)

“Sean is our friend and teammate.  Even when he couldn’t play on a field with me, he was always part of the team, on the sidelines, cheering the team on.  Now, we are cheering him on and supporting research to find a cure.” (Nicholas D.)

“Cancer impacts so many parts of your life; social and physical.  I want to be by his side and support him as he continues his treatments.” (Christos K.)

Knowing Sean Make Us Stronger. We have learned through Sean more and more about this disease and really want to help find a cure! You can learn more about Sean and his journey at www.teamsean.org

We hope you will join our team and our mission of 5K miles.  If you are able to donate/pledge any amount that is greatly appreciated as well!

Thank you for your support!

Happy Exercising!

Note: For those that are into more rigorous workouts, CrossFit, OTF, Zumba, Yoga, etc, can log 15 mins of exercise as 1 mile
