This uplifting community gathering is dedicated to supporting 15-year-old Jackson, who is bravely battling Metastatic Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcoma (ARMS).

Let's come together to make a difference, with proceeds benefiting the Bickler family and a portion going to the Phoenix Children's Center for Cancer. Don’t miss this chance to spread positivity and show your support for Jackson and all children fighting cancer!

Organiser's description

Please join us for a morning of community and positivity for our Jackson. Jackson is 15 years old and has been diagnosed with Metastatic Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcoma (ARMS) which is Cancer of the soft tissue which has spread to bones. He is being treated by one of the top Children's Hospitals in the US, with support from the Mayo Clinic close by. The treatment plan has been determined and it will be a long road. The doctors are planning treatment well into 2024 and we pray this will bring Jackson to remission. Each day, 43 kids in the US are expected to be diagnosed with cancer. Approximately 1 in 285 children in the US with cancer before their 20th birthday.

We are planning a 5k Fun Run OR 1 Mile Walk to come together to put our arms around Jackson and The Bickler Family.

PROCEEDS OF THIS EVENT WILL GO THE BICKER FAMILY AND 10% WILL BE ALLOCATED TO A CHARITY WHO SUPPORTS METASTATIC ALVEOLAR RHABDOMYOSARCOMA (ARMS)- PHOENIX CHILDREN'S CENTER FOR CANCER.

The Run is 25.00 per person or 100.00 for a family (over 4 people).

Kick it Like Jackson T-Shirt will be available for the first 100 people to Register. The free t-shirts were donated by SCORE SPORTS! They have donated the t-shirts and printing for this event. The sizes are Adult Unisex XL, L, M, S and Youth L. There is an option to NOT get a t-shirt since supplies are limited and if you cannot be at the event, we would like those AT THE EVENT to have shirts.

For those who do not get a t-shirt we would like you to try to wear Yellow and White to support Rhabdomyosarcoma and we will provide you with a KICK IT LIKE JACKSON BIB for the Event.
