On behalf of everyone at the Head for the Cure Foundation, thank you for helping make the 7th annual Head for the Cure 5K Run/Walk – Mid-Missouri a truly great day!
It was a beautiful spring morning for our signature Head for the Cure 5K, and an unforgettable celebration of hope and optimism for brain cancer patients, their families, friends and supporters!
With your help, we welcomed more than 200 runners, walkers, volunteers, donors, sponsors and well wishers — most participating with one of the 15 Head for the Cure teams supporting a loved one affected by brain cancer.
What’s more, and while we are still counting, our 7th annual Mid-Missouri event has grossed nearly $14,000! These results are very exciting – and we appreciate your help so much – and have us to close to our overall goal. Help us reach our milestone goal!
Keeping the Faith Honorees: We were so honored to recognize four extraordinary people –Phoenix Bass, Ryan Brookins, Katie Darr, and Louis Hendricks – as Keeping the Faith honorees. These inspiring people are the essence of Head for the Cure. Each story is personal and special, and they represent why we keep pushing to grow our cause every year in the fight to defeat brain cancer.
Results from the race are available HERE, if you would like to check your time, and see how you finished among your age group. A special HFTC congratulations to our overall 5k winners:
