    Benefiting the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society!

    CATHY'S STORY

    Cathy's journey with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma began in Feb 1996, six years before her official diagnosis. In

    1996, she raised $3200 for LLS, possibly sensing her future battle. In Nov 2011, she developed symptoms and

    underwent treatment at Cleveland Clinic from 2012 to 2013, managing chemo and hair loss. She never

    complained and continued to work full time and teaching reading to underprivileged children one day a week

    during her scheduled lunch. And she continued to run at least 20 to 30 miles per week.

    In Dec 2013, Cathy opted for an aggressive bone cell transplant. Despite the three-week sterile procedure, she

    remained active, walking the halls, spreading smiles, and resumed work and her normal physical activities, which

    included running, hiking, water aerobics, and yoga,post-release.

    2014 brought ups and downs. Although she did not receive any further chemo, she required periodic scans and

    remained on medication for her lymphoma. Her attitude was great and Cathy managed a trip to New Hampshire,

    where she hiked to the top of Mount Washington. In the fall she hiked Sedona and the Grand Canyon.

    In 2018, a scan revealed aggressive lymphoma B-cells, leading to a CART T Cell procedure in Columbus for three

    weeks. Cathy's resilience was evident as she exercised daily, read books, and attended events during recovery.

    2019 to July 2023 involved emotional roller coasters with drug trials and chemotherapy, leading to hospital

    stays. Cathy's unwavering faith, commitment to Mass, and plans for future activities showcased her courage.

    Her greatest hope was to witness her eldest granddaughter’s wedding day someday.

    Despite her challenging "fight," Cathy embraced life, served others, and raised thousands of dollars for LLS to

    help other people. Sadly Cathy lost her fight and she symbolically transitioned from bearing her "cross" to

    wearing her "crown."

    Join us on Saturday, October 26, 2024, at Cahoon Park in Bay Village, Ohio, for a run and walk honoring Amy Mihaljevic.

    The Amy Mihaljevic Memorial Run & Walk started out as Walk for Amy during the 2020 COVID year. As interest in the annual event grew, the Mihaljevic family wanted to expand the event to include a 5K race. Amy was an energetic girl that loved staying active riding horses, riding her bike with friends, or playing in the neighborhood. This race celebrates Amy's enthusiasm, zest for life, and love for people. Run or Walk with that in mind. Amy is forever in our hearts and is Never Forgotten.

    Entrance Fee & Donation:

    Your financial contribution to this event either as a runner / walker or donor, will directly impact the investigation's ability to bring justice to Amy's killer and renews hope for the Mihaljevic family that Amy is Never Forgotten by the community at large.

    The Amy Fund was established as a budget line-item to help fray the costs for the ongoing investigation. Although the city has a budget for the police department, the amount of money it costs to run DNA testing can run in the thousands of dollars each year. The police department receives funds for the investigation through the fiscal year budget, various outside agencies, and grant money. The AMY FUND allows the police department to tap into funds without the wait time that occurs before receiving grant money. DNA testing for one hair currently costs $7,000. The police department estimates that it will spend upwards of $75,000 DNA testing in the upcoming year.

    Event Address: Cahoon Park East Parking Lot, 459 Cahoon Rd, Bay Village, OH 44140
