Organiser's Description

Get ready for our 4th Annual Virtual BOO! Brain Cancer 5K/10K Walk/Run!

Join us this October as we come together virtually to raise critical funds for pediatric brain cancer research and support children and families facing the unimaginable.

Brain cancer is now the leading cause of disease-related death in children, and Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG) remains one of the deadliest pediatric brain cancers. Most children diagnosed with DIPG survive only 912 months, and currently, there is no cure. No family should ever hear that their childs cancer is incurable. Together, we can help fund more research, more hope, and more tomorrows.

This years BOO! Brain Cancer 5K/10K is a virtual walk/run that can be completed at any time during October. Whether you walk or run with family and friends, every mile helps raise awareness and brings hope to children battling brain cancer.

Track your miles on our race page, share your journey in our Facebook group, and help us spread awareness all month long!

Register by September 30th to receive your official event medal.
