Organiser's Description
BOY BAND 5K
JANUARY 18, 2026
VISTA VIEW PARK
Join us January 18, 2026 for the inaugural Boy Band 5K presented by the Sophia Strong Foundation. The day will be filled with music, dancing, entertainment, and a great 5K run/walk.
Sophia was a beautiful, bubbly and smart little girl born on January 22, 2014. She was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) at 9 years old - on April 23, 2023. Over nearly 2 years, Sophia endured 1 ovary tumor removal, 2 port placement surgeries, 9 rounds of chemotherapy, 12 bone marrow biopsies, 47 blood transfusions, 108 platelet transfusions, 8 lumbar punctures, 1 bone marrow transplant and countless hospital admissions. Sophias leukemia was unfortunately so aggressive that it returned as a more aggressive mutation. Sadly, the leukemia took her away on December 3, 2024 - less than a week from her relapse date.
The SophiaStrong Foundation was formed in 2025 by Sophia's mom and dad in order to continue Sophia's legacy and fight for other children affected by a cancer diagnosis. Sophia fought valiantly and the mission of the Foundation is continue the fight. The SophiaStrong Foundation is a small nonprofit whose main focus is to support the research of pediatric cancer treatment - striving for less toxic treatments for children. We also fund resources and programs that help kids and families as they navigate the difficult experiences faced during cancer treatment.
