This 5K is dedicated to the memory of Samuel August McFadden—beloved husband, father, and friend—who passed away at 34 after a courageous battle with brain cancer. Sam lived with a heart full of love, joy, and humor. He was a devoted dad, always making life magical for our children, and a partner who brought light into every day. Though his time with us was far too short, his impact was deep and lasting. We join today not only to honor his life, but to raise awareness, fund research, and bring hope to families facing the same fight. Sam met every challenge with bravery and a smile; he showed immense strength and didn’t let anything stop him from making memories with his family—let us do the same as we carry his memory forward, one step at a time.
