Why We Race: Ben's Legacy
Benjamin was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in October 2014. This disease required blood transfusions, chemo, and a bone marrow transplant. Before Ben’s passing at the age of 36 on December the 27th of 2015, it was his wish to continue the 5K annually with proceeds benefiting a local family fighting the leukemia battle.
Benjamin has forever touched our lives through this 5K and the brave battle he fought.
2018 Recipient: Bailey Bird
It gives us great pleasure to introduce you to Bailey, our 2018 Ben Strong 5K recipient. We had the opportunity a few weeks ago to meet Bailey and her family while she was hospitalized at Nemours in Orlando. This family is amazing and needs our Ben Strong Family support. Over the next few weeks you will learn more about this amazing girl. Welcome to the family, Bailey!
