Story
Welcome to the team fundraising page for the 2023-2024 Scott Carter Foundation Race Season! The SCF is devoted to raising funds for children's cancer research. Scott was a 13-year old boy who died in December 1993 after a courageous three-year battle with bone cancer. He believed that if enough time, energy and money were devoted to children's cancer research, a cure could be found. During the duration of his illness, he put together a remarkable collection of sports and celebrity memorabilia, which was previously on display at the Wide World of Sports. Each year, SCF partners with runDisney to participate in all their run events to raise money and further Scott's dream of finding a cure!
Our family has participated in run Disney events since Josh and I ran our first marathon in 2010. As the kids have grown older, they too have joined in raising money for charity and running the races. This year as we raise money for the SCF to find a cure for bone cancers, our family has been touched by cancer as well. Josh was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma this past August. Having had surgery to remove the largest tumor from his hip September 13, he will not be able to run the half marathon this year as planned. The rest of us will run in his honor and in honor of all others who have been touched by cancers of all kinds.
