It's That Time Again!









It's time for Team Superman's annual appearance in the "Stride for Life" 5k Walk/Run & Kids' Fun Run to benefit The Childhood Brain Tumor Foundation

Sunday, Sept. 13, 9 AM
1400 Lake Fairfax Drive
Lake Fairfax Park, Reston, Virginia
(close to Tyson's Corner, same location as before)

Please join our family and be a part of Team Superman this year!

For the third year in a row, we will meet at a beautiful park, on a (hopefully) sunny September Sunday, to celebrate life, support a worthwhile cause, stand with families like ours, whose lives have been changed by a childhood brain tumor, and honor those who tragically lost their struggle.

Brain tumors remain the deadliest form of childhood cancer, with 3,400 new cases diagnosed each year. More research is desperately needed to develop safer, more targeted and more effective treatments.

Since 2007, Team Superman has raised sufficient funds to support a two-year study that examines new approaches to treating recurrent mixed germ cell tumors of the brain, the very rare and difficult-to-treat diagnosis that Matthew faced. We plan to bring you a research update in the coming months.

In the meantime, please mark the morning of September 13 on your calendar and plan to join us. Whether you walk or run, it's a fun chance to exercise, see people you know, and come out for a great cause.

You may have already received a brochure/registration form in the mail. If not, click on the link at the top right corner of this site to download a copy in .pdf format. Advance registration ends September 1.

We look forward to seeing you!

Jaime, Jon, Matthew & Daniel
