From the Race Organizer
This race is a fundraiser for Head and Neck Cancer. We will donate all the proceeds to the SPOHNC Foundation. My dad was a member of this foundation throughout his cancer battle. Unfortunately, Head and Neck cancer took my dad from us too early. I think this race will be a great way to honor him, and help future people fight this terrible disease!
