If you didn’t already know, Here’s a bit About Us.
We are Fight the Good Fight, a non-profit organization, dedicated to supporting those in our community affected by brain tumors.
We do this by focusing on the following:
- Our Memorial Race
- Bringing Awareness to Our Community
- Educating Our Community
- Providing Support to Those Effected and Their Families
Fight the Good Fight was founded in honor of our friend Michel Garcia.
A memorial race was started in honor of Michel Garcia. The month of May was chosen because May is national brain cancer awareness month (Silver ribbon). The distance of 7k was chosen because Michel passed in the July. The 1.7 mile distance optional turnaround was chosen because the number 17 was Michel lucky number, which you will also see consistent on race bibs.
Life is what pushes me.
Every day, we make progress towards a cure; connect with us to stay up to date.
