I am participating in the Winship 5k in honor of my brother, AJ, who passed as an 18 year old to osteosarcoma in 2006.
AJ was dedicated to helping others in the final months of his battle. He sold stickers to raise $50,000 - a lofty goal for an 18-year-old selling $2 stickers. He passed away the day after reaching $50,000 raised. He was raising the money to make the rooms more comfortable for the families visiting their children.
Since his passing, the foundation AJ started has raised just under $1,000,000 - all benefiting childhood cancer efforts - research, accommodations, scholarships, and more. If you would like, join me in raising money for the Winship Cancer Institiute or join in on the 5k.
Thanks
