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 – Wichita 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 350 runners, walkers, volunteers, donors, sponsors and well wishers — most participating with one of the 29 Head for the Cure teams supporting a loved one affected by brain cancer.
Thank you to all of our incredible volunteers who came out to support our cause and assist in making our 5th annual event a success. A special thank you to Patti Gilpin, Alli Baskerville, Catherine and Clay Heidel, Ryan Dunbar, and the Dragon Master Foundation for their continued and unwavering support. Our events would not go on without the help of our volunteers and participants. We are so appreciative of each and every one of you!
What’s more, and while we are still counting, our 5th annual Wichita event has grossed over $20,100! 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!
