Funding Research. Igniting Hope.
So kids with cancer can survive and live well.
We exist to end the brutality and hopelessness of rare pediatric cancers.
Sam Day 5K & Kids Run
June 29, 2019
The Sam Day 5K is a unique, inspirational event benefiting the Sam Day Foundation with the purpose of funding better treatments for rare pediatric cancers, and life-giving experiences for kids with cancer.
In the spirit of Sam Day, this run is sure to be a high energy, fun, inclusive and meaningful event for all runners, volunteers and party goers.
Sam had a spirit that could energize a crowd and engage a room full of people from doctors to fourth graders.
We started as a community of friends who love Sam Day. We’re now fighting for the thousands of young people facing rare cancers.
We support organizations that nurture the spirit of young adults with cancer and fund research for hard to treat cancers.

Lorna's Blog
Just over six years ago I was transitioning back to work after being home with my two young kids. I wasn't working for long when I discovered the tumor in my 9 year-old son Sam's leg. He was soon diagnosed with an aggressive bone cancer called Ewing's Sarcoma, and my job once again needed to change.
For six years we faced two fights, the fight against cancer, and the fight to live well. I lost my most remarkable son in August, 2016. My journey is new and unwanted once again. While I stumble through the darkness of grief, I want to continue the fight to live well and I am here to write about the pursuit.
