Story
Scott Carter was a 13-year old boy who died in December 1993 after a courageous three-year battle with bone cancer. During the duration of his illness, he put together a remarkable collection of sports and celebrity memorabilia which he called Scott Carters Heroes. His dream was to display the collection for the enjoyment of the public and to raise money for childrens cancer research. The HEROES collection contains over 300 items including jerseys, balls, bats, boxing gloves and hockey sticks from Barry Sanders, Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Arnold Palmer, Greg Norman, Wayne Gretzky, Nancy Kerrigan, Muhammad Ali, Richard Petty, Garth Brooks, Shannon Miller, McLean Stevenson, Norman Swartzkoph, Tiger Woods and more. For many years, Scott's collection was on display at Wide World of Sports. While it is no longer on display, we love participating in runDisney events. Over ten years ago, we had our first team and it consisted of Scott's family and friends. This year, we will have over 150 runners. He would be incredibly proud, and humbled, to know all of you decided to join us and help him realize his dream to find a cure for all childhood cancers. SCF is run by volunteers so almost all money raised goes toward funding for childhood cancer research. We are looking for less toxic treatments, new drug development, and ultimately, a cure for all children in this battle with the number ONE disease killer of children.
