We are honoring four families at this year's 5K.

Carson Richardson

The race is being dedicated in memory of Carson Richardson who lost his battle with cancer in January.  Two years ago, Carson served as the Grand Marshall for the 5K, and his team, Carson's Crusaders, has won many team awards!  Read about Carson here.

Summer Simons

Summer's family has been supported by Heroes for Children for the past three years as she has been battling AML.  Summer's Mom, Andrea, would be happy to talk with your team about Summer. Please let Michelle know. Read all about Summer and her family here.

Joseph Morrison

Team Joseph will be participating in the 5K for their third year!  Since losing Joseph, Sheri, Joseph's mom, has made Heroes for Children her family's charity to support because families need the support HFC provides.  To read more about Joseph, please click here.
