Valkyrie 5K Run/Walk and 1M Warriors’ Walk

Join us Sun, July 30 at 8:30 at Harford Community College to help us outpace pediatric brain cancer. We have partnered with Charm City Run and Harford Community College to benefit the Children's Brain Tumor Network (CBTN), where 100% of donations go directly to research. All proceeds from this race will be donated directly to CBTN.

This race is being held in honor of Mackenzie Opdyke of Bel Air, MD.

In July of 2022, young Mackenzie was diagnosed with a type of brain cancer called a midline glioma. This form of brain cancer, while rare, can be particularly aggressive.

The Bel Air community, extended family, and friends have been exceptionally generous to Mackenzie’s family, and now they want to give back by raising money for pediatric brain cancer research, specifically glioma research, which receives little funding compared to more common cancers. Help ensure ongoing research can help one less family go through what the Opdyke family are experiencing right now.
