My Story

Runner dealt with some significant challenges over the course of his life and in November of 2014 was presented with his tallest hurdle yet. He was diagnosed with Hepatocelluar Carcinoma(HCC) which is the most common form of adult liver cancer, but is the rarest in children.   He fought so very hard but on January 28, 2015 Runner earned his wings as he lost his battle with liver cancer.  He inspired many people while here on earth and we continue to spread his legacy after his passing. We hope that you will be touched by Runner's story too.Thank you for supporting me and the more than 300,000 kids worldwide who will be diagnosed with cancer this year. By sharing the gifts of your time, talent and money with the St. Baldrick’s Foundation, you're supporting research to give all kids with cancer a better chance for a cure.
