Event summary

Join us for Milo's Run on Saturday, September 23rd, 2023, in the heart of Brownsville, Cameron, as we come together to honor the memory of Christopher Milo Moore. This inspiring annual event, now in its third year, celebrates the courageous spirit of Milo, who bravely battled a rare rhabdoid tumor at just six months old. Participants can look forward to a day filled with community spirit and purpose, as we strive to raise awareness for pediatric cancer and support families facing similar challenges.

Last year, Milo's Run raised over $30,000, providing vital assistance to families in the Rio Grande Valley. This year, a portion of the proceeds will also go to the Children's Bereavement Center, further extending our reach to help those in need. Together, we can make a difference, bringing smiles and hope to families navigating the hardships of childhood cancer. Join us in this meaningful event and be a part of a legacy that continues to uplift and inspire!

Organiser's description

Milo's Run 2023 is our 3rd annual run in honor of our Grandson, Christopher Milo Moore. In 2021 our son & daughter in law; Christopher & Nahomi Moore, were transported to DCH with Milo, where he was diagnosed with a rare type of cancer, a rhabdoid tumor; only about 50 children get diagnosed worldwide each year. He fought like a superhero for 3 months and 23 days. On September 23rd, surrounded by family at 6 months & 23 days old and with a smile on his face, he got his healing in Heaven. We run this race in memory of our #mightymilo.

We met many courageous families fighting a similar cancer diagnosis during this time. Milo's Run is to establish a fund through LIVINGWAY CARES, a non-profit 501C3, to help families of South Texas with a monetary gift to offset some of the huge expenses they have as they go through this process.

Last year's run raised over $30,000 and has blessed numerous RGV families throughout their journey with gas money, housing, food gift cards, etc. These families have become close & dear to our hearts. This year a portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Children's Bereavement Center, which will aid multiple families in the Rio Grande Valley.

We desire this event to benefit more families and raise awareness in the community of pediatric cancer. Although Milo is no longer with us, we know he is rejoicing and is cancer free, looking down on us & smiling with pride for all this run has accomplished.
