Strength, vibrancy, smiles, and unwavering love. This event celebrates the life of Jamie Lynne Knotts who died in January 2010 of a rare type of liver tumor at the age of 5 ½ months. She is our angel. This race not only honors Jamie, but also the doctors, nurses, and staff at Connecticut Children’s Medical Center who are living angels to the children and families who are currently struggling with cancer and blood disorders. The proceeds of the race will help fund the clinical trials program, child life in hematology/oncology, and the family assistance fund, continuing our quest to build a cure and ease the financial and emotional burdens of children and families fighting these terrible diseases.
When you go to the Children's Hospital and find out your 11 week old baby has cancer and a 5% chance of survival, it doesn't matter who you are. It doesn't matter what you have, how much money, status, cars, toys or ego. You are stripped of everything. Nothing else matters. You are at the mercy of the people who are taking care of you. If you're as lucky as us, you have a strong faith, loving parents to rely on, and a network of friends and family who rush to your aid and never leave. If you're not as lucky as us, all you have is the staff at Connecticut Children's. Luckily they are the most amazing people you'll meet. They just need our help to make the caring and curing experience better for children and their families.
Your participation will ensure a brighter future for children all over Connecticut, who come to Connecticut Children's for state-of-the-art care, while the race for the cure for many forms of cancer and blood disorders continues.
Because if it was a fair fight, she would have won...
