Griffin's Guardians has been by my side for 4 years, from our son's terminal brain tumor diagnosis of DIPG, through treatments and in my grief.  They have provided me with emotional support, built community with families affected by childhood cancer, and helped lighten our load.  It is an honor to wear a GG charity bib, to give back and help them support other cancer families..  I run for my son Charlie, who died in 2018, for Griffin, and for far too many children with cancer.

I am honored to be able to wear a Griffin’s Guardian bib. There are so many great things about this charity but my biggest motivation for wanting to raise money for this organization is the fact that all the money stays local. There are children right here in our neighborhoods being diagnosed every day. This money goes directly to ease the burdens and support families in our community who are dealing with the unimaginable diagnosis of childhood cancer.

I am truly honored to wear a Griffin’s Guardians running bib!!  Many people who know me, know that childhood cancer hits home for my family.  My neice Bridgette, will be a 5 year cancer survivor in November! I have seen first hand how difficult it is for families when their child is battling the un fathomable cancer. Griffin’s Guardians is such an amazing charity! They are here helping to support local families!  All the money raised by this charity is used to help ease the burdens these families are facing and help support local families faced to battle this awful disease! ❤️
