OUR STORY: RUNNING FOR IAN
We are Steven and Alison Dimitratos, and we started Ians Run to honor the memory of our beautiful son, Ian Thomas Dimitratos. At our 20-week anatomy scan, we discovered Ian had abnormalities. Further testing revealed he had Trisomy 13, a rare genetic disorder caused by an extra 13th chromosome that impacts brain development. Despite being told his chances of surviving birth were low, we held onto hope and prayer just to meet him. Ian was born on October 4, 2020. He lived for 7 beautiful hours before passing away peacefully in our arms.
By joining us at RiverWinds, you help us keep Ian's memory alive while also providing a glimmer of hope to other families. 100% of the proceeds from this race go directly to Make-A-Wish New Jersey.
