Organiser's description

Join us for a celebration of the life of David Norman April and a fundraiser to fight back at the cancer that tragically took his life at age 58. David passed away in Spain, on December 10th, 2023 accompanied by his wife, kids, and other family. In his 9-year long fight, he was able to meet every Thursday evening with Beer Runner friends, and officiate many of their weddings; share his love for music, DJ-ing on Gospel Sundays and Radio Delaware Valley Tuesdays; go on antique-shopping dates in Lancaster with his wife, and on scuba diving vacations in Mexico; he was able to see his son graduate from his same alma mater, the University of Virginia, and visit his daughter during her year abroad in Italy. David Norman April lived a fulfilling life with his loved ones, during every chapter of his journey, thanks to the medical research that you can help support today. Please, join us to share memories of a life well lived while supporting oncology patients with the quality of life they all deserve.

This event will include an optional fun run through David's Fishtown neighborhood, a toast at Philadelphia Brewing Company where he led tours for many years, musical performances, and words of memory. Friends from all walks of David's life are encouraged to join us.
