"Elijah is 12 years old, born and raised in Connecticut. He has a twin sister and is the eldest brother of 5 children. He’s a part of his school's cross country team, running the 2.9 mile race, and qualified for states this past season!
On Christmas Eve, Elijah suffered a CVT stroke and has since been diagnosed with Stage 4 Glioblastoma - an extremely aggressive brain cancer that affects roughly 3.21 out of every 100,000 people and is even rarer to be found in children.
In order to combat this head-on, Elijah will be undergoing intense radiation therapy 5 days a week. Please help us raise funds to support his medical costs and supplies that will be needed to keep him safe, healthy and as comfortable as possible. Purchase of a ticket includes buffet dinner, and there will also be music, raffles, and a cash bar!
2.9 to the Finish Line! On your marks! Get set! Let's get Elijah healthy and back home!" (via. Eventbrite)
