From the Organizer
Join us for the LIV Strong 5k Charity Run, a community event created to support 10 -year old Alivia "Livi" Miller as she bravely battles osteosarcoma, a rare and aggressive bone cancer.
Livi is an energetic, softball- loving athlete whose life changed suddenly after a sports injury led to her diagnosis. As she begins chemotherapy and prepares for surgery, her family Josh and Susie is facing not only an emotional journey, but also a significant medical and financial challenges.
This 5k run/walk brings together friends, family, first responders, schools and the community to rally around the Miller family. All proceeds will go directly toward Livi's medical expenses, travel for treatment, and household needs during this difficult time.
Whether you run, walk, or cheer from the sidelines, your participation helps surround Livi with Strength, hope and support.
Together, we are #Livistrong
