2024 Brave Like Bryson 5K ...

_ The 2024  Brave Like Bryson 5K:

 Join us on Saturday April 13th to support and amazing family and young man named Bryson.
 

In October 2021, 5 year old Gavin Blount was diagnosed with brain cancer.  Only 3 months later, in January 2022, his 3 year old little brother Bryson was diagnosed with ALL Leukemia. Both Gavin and Bryson were diagnosed with CMMRD, or Constitutional Mismatch Repair Deficiency, which makes both boys predisposed to developing cancer.  Treatment began immediately for both boys.  Sadly, in February 2023, Gavin passed away at the age of 6, with his family by his side.  Only 6 days after losing his big brother, Bryson’s blood work revealed that his Leukemia had returned, and it was more aggressive than the last time.  Months of treatments, hospital stays, surgeries, tests, etc for both boys have led to HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS in medical bills for Bryson’s family.  Bryson is scheduled to have a bone marrow transplant in January 2024. This will only add to the family’s financial burden, and they are greatly struggling to keep up with the bills and copays. It is the mission of the Brave Like Bryson 5K to raise money to provide financial assistance to the Blount Family, as well as bring awareness to childhood cancer.
