Erica's battle with B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) began on Fri, Jan 3rd. 

She has completed the first 30 days of inpatient treatment. She has six remaining week-long inpatient treatments, with two-week breaks at home in between. Erica cannot work during this time, but she hopes to return to work in the Fall of 2025.

The funds raised by this 5k will significantly improve the lives of Erica's family. They will help with everyday expenses, such as food and lodging, that they will incur while Steven is in Gainesville with Erica and her parents are in Valdosta with the boys. Your participation can bring them much-needed relief. 

The Cooper family is deeply grateful for the overwhelming support they have received. Your prayers and well-wishes are a source of strength for Erica and her family. Your continued support is invaluable. If you can’t contribute financially, your prayers for Erica's health, her family, and her peace are more than enough.
