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.

Running/Walking in memory of all the Osteo Angels
Cheyenne DeVelasco: passed from this life on Sunday August 20th, 2017. She will surely rest peacefully knowing she was loved deeply, she loved greatly and gave of herself wholeheartedly until the very end of her life.
She lived the life of a true superhero - having faced great adversity, she used her considerable powers for good, for all. Weeks before Chey passed away, when breathing was difficult, and she had every right to not engage with others, she courageously shared her story with MIB Agents and their video production team. Her story, strength, faith and love will be shared with the world. More than a Warrior, Chey showed us all how to battle adversity with courage, hope and faith. Chey was an important part of MIB Agents from the start. She was a sustaining donor, sending a donation every month to help other kids and young adults suffering from her same disease, osteosarcoma. Her heartfelt desire was to Make It Better so that no other child should have to suffer as she did. We are a 100% volunteer, nationwide nonprofit organization. Our singular mission is to provide direct support to kids with this disease as well as fund meaningful research to improve outcomes for osteosarcoma.
Michael's wish
Michael Heras: passed from this life on May 25, 2018. He will always be remembered with love and admiration for his incredible courage and fortitude in battling osteosarcoma. He knew that this fight for his life required more from him than should be asked of any person. He faced more than 30 rounds of chemotherapy, limb salvage surgery, lung surgeries, clinical trials and amputation. His desire to help other young adults and children with this disease will be carried on in his name. Our desire is to carry out his hope to improve outcomes for osteosarcoma. We sincerely hope you will help us in honoring Michael's wish.
Make A Difference
Ian: battled osteosarcoma (bone cancer) since April of 2015. It started with a bump on his shin that when removed was discovered to be malignant. After amputating his leg in June of 2015 and 8 grueling months of chemotherapy he was declared NED (no evidence of disease). But sadly 6 months later doctors found a new tumor at the base of his spine in his sacrum. Experimental therapies at Cleveland Clinic used radium to blast the tumor from the inside out giving him another amazing year and a half before passing away due to complications from treatment-induced AML leukemia. Throughout this journey, Ian has truly lived his life fully — “If I can stand, I can climb."
