Official Charity

Proceeds from this event will be donated to one of our close friends, Barbara Hamel, who is currently battling Lymphoma.  This challenge is dedicated to her and will stand by her side each step she takes.  We hope you will too.

Barbara has been part of our Total Image Running family since the very beginning. From her feisty attitude to her spirit driven soul this woman is amazing!  Barbara beat Lymphoma once and now she is facing the fight a second time.  It has spread to her spine so she can no longer walk. They are treating her with two types of chemotherapy which has very challenging side effects and force her to be in the hospital 10 days at a time.  Proceeds from this event will be donated to her and her family to help them with the financial burden that comes with a cancer diagnosis.
