RACE LOCATION:

About Kathy's Run for Cancer:

Kathy was diagnosed over the Memorial Day Weekend in 2023 with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. While there is no cure for this disease it is very treatable. Kathy has undergone multiple radiation and chemotherapy treatments. After twelve weeks she’s had a great response to the treatment and is now only getting immunotherapy infusions every three weeks.

Kathy is a fighter, and her great attitude has been instrumental to her positive results. By supporting our local cancer centers and education Kathy feels this turns a difficult situation into something very positive.

The opportunity to revamp this race came at the right time as the committee for the Rose Run decided to step away. Kathy has gotten incredible care at the Bronson Cancer Center along with the West Michigan Cancer Center. Kathy would like to provide support for the work these organizations do by using the money raised during the race to support their efforts. In addition, Kathy desires to start a scholarship for graduating Gull Lake High School seniors wishing to enter nursing school.

Thank you for reading her story. Please pass the word along about this exciting event, Kathy’s Run for Cancer on the 4th of July 2025.

    “We only have two choices: do nothing, or do something.”

    – Tony Kirwan, Destiny Rescue Founder & International CEO

    Human trafficking involves the use of force, fraud, or coercion to obtain some type of labor or commercial sex act. Every year, millions of men, women, and children are trafficked worldwide – including right here in the United States. It can happen in any community and victims can be any age, race, gender, or nationality. According to the most recent International Labour Organization (ILO) study, there are an estimated 49.6 million people currently living in modern slavery around the world, and 5.1 million people are in modern slavery on any given day in the United States (ILO 2022).

    We are ready to do something. Stop the Traffick! is race festival that in partnership with Destiny Rescue is seeking to raise funds to rescue children from human trafficking. In this, the second annual event, we will begin the morning with a one mile fun run followed by a 5K race, both at Kalamazoo Christian Elementary (note that this course will be off-road and will use the cross-country course), followed by awards.
