On behalf of everyone at the Head for the Cure Foundation, thank you for helping make the 5th annual Head for the Cure 5K Run/Walk – St. Louis a truly great day!
It was a beautiful morning, albeit a little warm, 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 900 runners, walkers, volunteers, donors, sponsors and well wishers — most participating with one of the 63 Head for the Cure teams supporting a loved one affected by brain cancer.
What’s more, and while we are still counting, our 5th annual St. Louis event has grossed nearly $75,000 of our $95,000 goal! These results are very exciting – and we appreciate your help so much. Help us reach our milestone goal! We will keep the Head for the Cure St. Louis donation page open for another 60 days. So, please invite your friends and family to support this great cause.
