2025 A Reason to Run

Mandi, Michelle, Melissa, and Reid met when their loved ones were bravely fighting glioblastoma, the most deadly form of brain cancer. Joe Razza, Alex Robertson, and Robert Shein passed away within months of each other in 2023, leaving a massive hole in the hearts of their loved ones.

When they reached out to Eric Tai-Lee Wong, MD, to express gratitude for his exceptional care and kindness, they asked how they might thank him. Dr. Wong suggested they could help by picking up a paused fundraising effort for research which had been led by one of his patients and his wife.
