The story behind The Erik Gray Challenge
Together as the Gray family, we decided to put on this race in honor of our family member Erik who passed away in February of 2017 at the age of 23 after a 7 year battle with cancer. Erik was optimistic, upbeat, and inspiration to all. He lived his life to the fullest every day and went out of his way to help others even as he was going through hard things himself. We decided to create this race to carry on his legacy of helping others. Each year we pick local families battling cancer to raise money for! We wanted to give back to the community that gave us so much in our time of need! Thank you for your support and we look forward to our race this year!!
