Description
May 1, 2019, would become the last normal day for Chrissy and Jake Rodart. Earlier that week, their then 5-year-old son, Wyatt, began experiencing painful headaches that would leave him exhausted. What they thought would be a quick visit to the pediatrician eventually led to the unthinkable news that Wyatt had diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG), a devastating brain tumor with no known cure. The Rodarts are more determined than ever to take on DIPG the same way Wyatt lives his life – with spunk, courage, and joy.
Join Team Wyatt in a VIRTUAL RUN to support The ChadTough Foundation! You can run whenever, wherever, however you want ... or not at all (we won't tell)!
Limited shirts and sizes available after September 4. For registrations received after September 4, shirts will be received in October.
All proceeds will go to The ChadTough Foundation, whose mission is to inspire and fund game-changing research to discover effective treatments for pediatric brain cancer, with an emphasis on Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG).
