Over the last two years, the Race for Big Dreams has honored two amazing former clients: JJ and Dillon. This year we will honor Talia, daughter of Jill Lund and Brent and Jillian Krumbach. Talia lost her lengthy battle with CHD (congenital heart disease) at the age of 14 in May 2023. She was diagnosed in utero with a heart defect and had six heart surgeries, along with several additional procedures; most of them were prior to the age of 1. Talia was an amazing child with an infectious and positive personality. She became a superhero to all who knew her.
