Crush Childhood Cancer 5K

Tomorrow morning, I’m heading down to the King of Prussia, PA to take part in the Crush Childhood Cancer 5K, running for Team Aidan. Aidan is the son of a coworker who was diagnosed with a highly fatal form of pediatric brain cancer. He has been through radiation treatment, more tests than I care to imagine, and is now taking part in a clinical trial that shows promise (and for which only a certain specific tissue type was eligible). He’s doing well given the circumstances, and his family is donating any money raised through this raise back to the trial. It is a great cause, and this is one race that I won’t question waking up at 6am on a Saturday or the possible threat of rain during the race. It’s for a good cause and a friend, and a little dude that doesn’t deserve the hand he got dealt. If you’re reading this, say a prayer for him and all the other kids fighting against diseases that make their childhood a struggle.

General, Running
