Organiser's description
After holding this race last year for my senior graduation project, I realized I wanted to continue for another year! The race will take place on June 1st, 2024, in Downingtown PA, to benefit The MIP Foundation to raise money and awareness for oncology patients like myself. I want other patients to feel just a supported through The MIP Kit Program as I did, and still do.
