From the Race Organizer
Join us on Saturday, April 24, 2027, as we come together to celebrate Rylen's life, honor the gift of organ donation, and support families in need. Rylen, whose joyful spirit and contagious smile earned him the nickname "Smilin' Rylen," gained his angel wings on June 5, 2017, at just 13½ months old after a courageous battle with bacterial meningitis. Though his time with us was far too short, Rylen's impact continues to be felt every day. Through the incredible gift of organ donation, Rylen was able to save five lives, leaving a legacy of hope that continues to inspire others. We celebrate Rylen with everything ORANGE , a color that represents happiness, hope, and the bright light he brought to everyone around him. The mission of the Smilin' Rylen Foundation is to raise awareness about the importance of organ donation while providing support and assistance to families facing times of crisis. The Cowan family extends their heartfelt gratitude for your generous contributions and continued support. Thank you for helping us honor Rylen's legacy and the lives he saved. We hope you'll join us as we celebrate his life and continue spreading hope through the gift of organ donation.
