Kylie Roses Run was inspired by Kylie and her family during her fight against cancer. She and her family put on an annual 5K & Family Fun Run that benefits Akron Children's Hospital's Oncology Department. Kylie also decided to make Kylie's Bags of Love, which are bags stuffed with fun items for the children in the hospital.
Kylie Rose’s Run is celebrating its 12th Annual 5K event. Kylie Rose Jacobs, at the age of five, was diagnosed with cancer on January 6, 2015 and has since been treated at Akron Children’s Hospital. She has BEAT CANCER THREE TIMES! This year’s race proceeds will directly support the patients and their families and will help fund pediatric cancer research.
