When a person receives a rare diagnosis, the challenges increase. They are up against a disease like cancer, and they are also up against underfunded research and outdated treatment protocols. Those challenges are especially true for Ewing Sarcoma. In previous years, the Fast Eddie Races have exceeded our goals and raised $25,000 in memory of Ed each year. All proceeds from the race will be donated to the Little warrior Foundation Let’s REPEAT!
Even if you don’t read another word, PLEASE DONATE and upload a photo of you running, walking, or with your ARMS UP.
