Elizabeth “Lizzy” Swoboda was diagnosed with a grade 4 diffused midline glioma on 9/23/2021. She was a happy, faith filled, loving and active 11 year old who was in the 5th grade. Lizzy had emergency surgery to have the tumor removed. She then participated in radiation treatment and was accepted to a clinical trial. Before the trial could start Lizzy died on 3/4/2022. She continues to live on the lives of her family and many friends.

This is the 3rd year our family and friends have participated in the Head For A Cure 5K on the #LoveLizzy team. We are very excited to help raise money to help support brain cancer research.
