Running > 5k

Registration Powered by RunSignUp

Event Description

Cheyenne would have celebrated her 21st birthday on October 19th. In honor of her 21st birthday we will run/walk to celebrate that milestone. Also in keeping with the fall season, feel free to come in your favorite Marvel character apparel (i.e. socks, t-shirt, cape, mask etc.) as she loved the Marvel movies. 

Our goal is to Make It Better for osteosarcoma patients by raising $21,000 for research and direct patient support. As a 100% volunteer organization, every dollar raised for osteosarcoma research goes as a whole dollar to fund osteosarcoma research.

Over 2,000 animals including lions, tigers, bears (oh my) and chimpanzees! John Ball Zoo brings behind-the-scenes training and care to the public daily.
