Maddy and Julie run for Tackle Kids Cancer #TommyStrong
We are running the 2022 TCS New York City Marathon to raise funds in support of pediatric cancer research. All money raised will benefit the Children’s Cancer Institute at Hackensack Meridian Health and will help their littlest patients become kids again!
Unfortunately, our connection to Tackle Kids Cancer started like many others. Our family friend was diagnosed with brain cancer when he was four years old. Tommy taught us the definition of strength as he went through multiple surgeries and rounds of treatment. He was #TommyStrong. After two years of fighting, Tommy lost his battle with cancer. We are running for the kids like Tommy.
The Children’s Cancer Institute at Hackensack Meridian Health has been a beacon of hope for children and their families dealing with pediatric cancer…but more can be done. Cancer is the #1 cause of death by disease among children in the US, but only 4% of cancer research dollars are allocated to pediatric cancer. These facts are devastating, but the doctors at the Children’s Cancer Institute are working tirelessly to find a cure. Please support us and help end childhood cancer!
Raising money to find a cure is a marathon – not a sprint! We have a long way to go, and every dollar helps! Thank you for supporting our run – together we can make a bigger impact in this fight against pediatric cancer!
Together WE can Tackle Kids Cancer! #TommyStrong
