Max Lacewell's Foundation- "Best 5k Evuh"

AboutTheMaxLacewellFoundation:  Max "Little Dude" Lacewell was a vibrant little boy who  loved Star Wars, Legos and sushi. Two days before  Halloween, at the age of five, he was diagnosed with one  of the rarest, deadliest, and most aggressive forms of  cancer- Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG). Less than  10% of the 100-150 kids diagnosed each year live  beyond 18 months from diagnosis. In Max's case, he  survived only nine more months, until the fourth of July.  The Max Lacewell Foundation was created out of the  determination of Max's family and friends to fight back  against cancer. This not-for-profit aims to raise  awareness and fund vital research of pediatric brain  tumors, specifically, DIPG, with the ultimate goal of  establishing a brain tumor research scholar at the Lurie  Children's Hospital of Chicago.  Since MLF is run exclusively through volunteers, 100% of  the net proceeds of our fund raising events go directly  toward this goal. Thanks to participants who support our  fund raisers, we have raised over $250,000 to help  others who face DIPG.  We estimate that about $2 million would meet our goal  of establishing the MLF scholar. But our ultimate goal is  to make DIPG a thing of the past. Thank you for your  partin moving us a little closer to that goal!
