Rowdy Ray is a 5-year-old boy who lives in Wichita, Kansas. He was diagnosed with leukemia with CNS-3 on June 6th, 2023. This means his cancer has spread to his central nervous system. This is a very rare condition with about 2,300 cases worldwide and 100 cases in the USA diagnosed yearly with the CNS-3 status. Rowdy had been hospitalized since June 6th, 2023 undergoing chemotherapy and treatment and was recently released. Rowdy's medical team has advised his mother, Sallie, that he will be required to undergo weekly chemotherapy treatments for the next two years. This will result in a great financial burden upon the family and we are hoping to offset that burden by raising fund with this 5K Fun Run

With September being Childhood Cancer Awareness month, we ask you to run or walk in our event to show support for Rowdy and his family, as well as spreading awareness for Childhood Cancers.
