Event Description

Team Colton's Superhero 5k presented by the Team Colton DIPG Foundation. Our mission is to provide financial support to families battling DIPG ( Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma). DIPG is the deadliest form of childhood cancer with less than a 1% survival rate. DIPG is an inoperable brain tumor located on the brain stem. There is no cure! Children and Adults diagnosed with DIPG are given an average prognosis of 9-12 months from date of diagnosis. We hope to ease the financial burden on families during their battle or provide them with the funds to have a fun experience free from hospitals and doctors!!! 

Colton Ritchie was 5 years old when diagnosed with DIPG in October 2016. He battled bravely for 16 months, before passing on Valentines Day 2018. Colton loved all Superheros and even the villains too! We invite you to wear any and all Superhero gear you would like!!! 

Any and all updates will be made on our Facebook page: Team Colton DIPG Foundation.
