Supporting Pink Lemonade Project
This year, we are honored to dedicate our race’s fundraising efforts to Pink Lemonade Project, a nonprofit based in Vancouver, Washington that educates, empowers, and supports individuals and families affected by breast cancer throughout Southwest Washington and Oregon. Through community programs, financial assistance, mentorship, and support groups, Pink Lemonade Project provides compassion and practical care to patients and their loved ones every step of the way.
This mission has taken on a deeply personal meaning for me. In September 2025, my mom, Tina, was diagnosed with Stage 4 breast cancer. This diagnosis has changed our entire family’s world — it’s brought us together in ways we never imagined, as we’ve come alongside my mom to care for her full-time. Through it all, Pink Lemonade Project has been a source of comfort, resources, and encouragement, helping us navigate this difficult season with strength and hope.
By donating through this race, you’re not only supporting a local nonprofit — you’re standing with families like ours. Your generosity helps bring community, care, and hope to those fighting breast cancer right here in our region. 💕
Thank you for running, giving, and believing in the power of compassion.
