It would turn into an annual Celebration of Life that many have come to rely on. After a few years of success we registered as a 501(c)(3) Charitable Corporation and continue the mission of promoting an annual “Celebration of Life.” Throughout the year, it's volunteers encourage anyone to consider being trained and completing a "bucketlist" sports endurance event in exchange for fundraising while you train. It “gives back” in a way that leverages their own individual network while possibly honoring a friend or family member in the fight, in remission, or who have earned their angels wings already. Proceeds provide annual financial assistance to local cancer families for expenses incurred as a result of cancer treatment while funding the very latest treatments. Show less
