Race and Splash for Leah
Tax deductible
Leah Suminski passed away on June 13, 2020 after a long battle with breast cancer. This year, on September 9, she would have been 38 years old. Our goal is to earn $100 for every year of her life by holding a 5k/1 mile race in her memory, followed by a splash in the ocean (or lake, river, pool, puddle). Due to COVID-19 this is a virtual race, but looking forward to an in-person race in the future.
Sometimes when families are dealing with cancer they feel overwhelmed and alone. Last September, Leah, Sam and the boys went on a free week-long trip to Michigan, paid for by The Little Pink Houses of Hope. There they met several other families dealing with the exact same things that they were. It was so comforting to be around people with the same fears, challenges, hopes, and dreams. In Michigan, they found a new family--their “Little Pink Family”. Leah wanted people to donate to Little Pink Houses of Hope in lieu of funeral services when she passed. I know it would make her so happy to know that more families get to enjoy a week away in her memory.
Thank you for considering donating to her cause!
