Story

This will be our  9th annual Superheroes Run, in honour of a true and mighty superhero, Felix White. After a 2 and a half year battle, beautiful Felix, aged 6 and 3/4, used his superhero powers to lift him to the sky on August 23, 2011.We want to ensure that the that the next child battling this horrendous disease gets the access to treatment that they need and deserve treatment. That chance of life, that hope. Please help us raise money for them.

Felix was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma, an aggressive childhood cancer at age 4.  In his battle to beat cancer, Felix experienced more physical hardship at ages four, five and six than any human being should ever have to endure. And he did this each and every day with an amazing amount of love and grace. Felix represented what a true superhero is- his incredible kindness and spirit, his immense love of life-no matter what it may throw at you, and his amazing ability to live fully and presently in each moment. His life force, along with his identical twin brother Elliot and big sister Grace, inspired us all to get the very most out of every day that we are given.

We are running to raise money for the amazing Solving Kids Cancer, a small charity that helps families struck by Neuroblastoma. A charity that really came to our rescue. Imagine being told your child has a disease which has no cure? As a parent, the desperation to find leading edge clinical trials or even hopeful leads becomes your sole focus. Solving Kids Cancer became our enabler, providing access to the leading edge care and options we needed for Felix. The charity funded Felix's antibody treatment in Germany and brought us to The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia when he relapsed, a place full of hope and clinical trial options. The importance of leaving no stone unturned is immeasurable-even when things don't turn out as you had hoped and prayed.

With deep thanks, Colleen, Matt, Grace, Elliot, Tearna .....and angel Felix forever XXXXX
