Running for a Hero: Miles’ Story -- In March 2024, just days after his 9th birthday, Miles Jacobsen was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor. After a grueling year of chemotherapy, Miles remains a beacon of joy, awaiting the next breakthrough in targeted therapy.
Despite the challenges, Miles hasn’t slowed down. He has turned to running to raise awareness and vital funds for the thousands of children facing their own cancer journeys. Because pediatric brain tumor research is the least funded in the country, Miles is taking the lead to change the future for himself and others.
On May 30, we are running for him. Proceeds from the Miles for Miles race go directly to The Children’s Brain Tumor Foundation, supporting families and funding cutting-edge medical research. Whether you take on the 1-Miler, the 5K, or the "Miles’ Challenge" (both!), you are helping fuel a cure.
Stick around after the finish line for our awards ceremony, Miles will be there personally handing out the medals!
