  Why D-Feet Cancer?

  D-Feet Cancer was formed in late 2021 after parents Jen and Will promised their 12-year-old son, Dalton, they wouldn’t stop fighting this disease to help kids like him. With support from family, friends, and community, D-Feet Cancer was formed in late 2021. In January 2023, D-Feet Cancer wrote a check for $100,000.08 (8 was Dalton’s favorite number) to fund one year of Ewing Sarcoma research. This research, in partnership with the University of Pittsburgh and St. Baldrick’s Foundation, aims to specifically target Ewing Sarcoma cells via cell surface receptors while leaving healthy cells alone. If successful, this treatment could significantly increase survivorship while limiting the often debilitating and sometimes fatal side effects of traditional chemotherapy. After another year of fundraising, D-Feet Cancer donated another $100,000 to St. Baldrick's in February 2024 to fund the University of Pittsburgh research for a second year. An additional $50,000 also helped fund a separate but

  related research project in Vancouver, Canada. Thanks to the generosity of donors, D-Feet Cancer funded the Children's Hospital of Los Angeles in 2025 to study the Ewing Sarcoma using zebrafish. This $97,500.08 will fund a research lab for a year. Additionally, another $50,000 grant was disbursed to the research team in Vancouver to help prepare their novel treatment for a clinical trial.

  In total, D-Feet Cancer has funded over $480,000 of pediatric cancer research and supports researchers in Washington D.C., Pittsburgh, Vancouver, and Los Angeles. D-Feet Cancer will make another six-figure research grant in the first half of 2026. Thank you to all of our sponsors, donors, and supporters for allowing us to fund this critical research.

  D-Feet Cancer hopes to continue to raise awareness of pediatric cancer in general and Ewing Sarcoma specifically in the years to come. 100% of donations and all Dalton’s Dash 5K proceeds will directly fund research into Ewing Sarcoma and other under-studied pediatric cancers to help the approximately 16,000 U.S. kids each year, who, just like Dalton, are diagnosed with cancer. By directly funding research into these cancers, D-Feet Cancer is determined to help discover more effective and less toxic treatments while supporting both patients and families during their greatest time of need.

  To learn more about D-Feet Cancer, the research we fund, and our mission, please visit www.DFeetCancer.org. The story of our inspiration, Dalton Fox, can be found on the website but is also below. Dalton is our “WHY.”

  Dalton Fox's Story:

  In March of 2018, Dalton began a standard chemotherapy regimen designed to kill the rapidly dividing Ewing Sarcoma cells along with a limb salvage surgery in July of 2018. After almost a year of chemotherapy and an artificial knee and metal tibia, Dalton was declared cancer-free in February of 2019. In May of 2019, Dalton's cancer had returned and on August 28, 2019, Dalton’s left leg was amputated just above his left knee.

  Dalton’s smile and sense of humor were infectious. Even while fighting cancer, Dalton brightened every room he walked into. Dalton loved animals, especially lemurs, and even had a lemur picture on Larry, his prosthetic leg. When kids asked him what happened to his missing left leg, Dalton would smile and say, “shark attack.” He even wanted to get a pedicure and see if he got half off.

  Dalton’s amputation was followed by another six months of chemotherapy. Once again, in February of 2020, Dalton was declared cancer-free. With his new prosthetic leg, named Larry, Dalton enjoyed a Spring out of the hospital. Unfortunately, the amputation and six more months of additional chemo didn’t work. A June 2020 chest x-ray showed a lung full of fluid and a metastasis of the Ewing Sarcoma. Over the next eleven months, Dalton continued to smile and make others laugh all while fighting for his own life. If pure grit, determination, and toughness had been enough, Dalton would have easily beaten his cancer. D, as he was often called, needed better medicine/treatment options, and time. Dalton died on May 25, 2021, a little more than three years after his initial diagnosis.

  This is a FUN run and not a timed event. Additionally, those running with strollers and walking are encouraged to start in the back of the pack. Wheelchair/hand-cyclists/duo teams will be allowed on a limited basis, and these runners will start at the front of the pack. Please contact us if you will be participating as a wheelchair/hand-cycle/duo team. Pets, bicycles, skateboards, in-line skates, and scooters are NOT permitted in the race.

  Packet pickup will be MAY 15, 2026 at CLUB BRITTANY (800 Five Point Road, 23454) from 4-6 pm. Cheers to the 5th Annual Dalton's Dash 5k and kids' 100-yard dash! We hope to see you there!

  What is a Tunnel To Towers Run & Walk?

  The Tunnel to Towers Run & Walk Series was created to honor the heroic life and death of Stephen Siller, a New York City firefighter (FDNY) who lost his life on September 11, 2001 after strapping on his gear and running through the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel to the Twin Towers. Honor all of those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001 and support our first responders and military who make extraordinary sacrifices in the line of duty! For more information on the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation please visit www.t2t.org.

  This will be our second Virginia Beach 5K and we are excited to bring together the community of Virginia Beach, so rich in its patronage to our service members stationed here, and to honor them alongside our Firefighters, Police Officers, and our first responders. This is how we want to commemorate the 23rd anniversary of 9/11, and remember our heroes like Stephen who made the ultimate sacrifice. No better way than to raise funds for the Tunnel to Towers programs.

  How far is a Tunnel to Towers Run & Walk?

  This is a 5K (approximately 3.1 miles) to walk or run this event. Anyone can run, walk, or experience this event.

  Where can I pick up my packet?

  Packet Pick up will be at Murphy’s Irish Restaurant (2914 Pacific Avenue, Virginia Beach, VA 23451) on Saturday November 15th, from 1PM to 5PM, or on the morning of the race starting at 0700 at the Pavilion Stage at 24th Street Park.

  Can I register the day of the run?

  I am a fast runner. Can I get a front-line position?

  Runners predicting a pace faster than 6 minutes/mile will be seeded in the front of the runners (arrive early).

  Will there be awards for running?

  Yes, we keep them very simple since our mission is to honor first responders, most of our awards are based on firefighters, police or military running in gear in the same fashion that Stephen Siller did on 9/11. This event is intended to be an experience and much more than a run.
