The Cancer Sucks 5K is Powered by The Shelley Foundation:
The Shelley Foundation was founded in response to the shocking news of Shelley William's stage four colon cancer diagnosis in February 2022. Despite initial prognoses giving her only three months to live, Shelley has persevered for over two years, demonstrating incredible strength and resilience. Inspired by her journey, we established this foundation to channel our energies into raising funds and providing support for individuals and families navigating the hardships of cancer. Through our collective efforts, we aim to bring hope, resources, and community to those who need it most, standing together in the fight against cancer.
