John Shapiro's Superheroes 5K

John Shapiro's Superheroes 5K Help fight pediatric cancer by participating in the John Shapiro's Superheroes Annual 5K Run/1 Mile Run/Walk and Fun Run. John Shapiro was a superhero.

He touched the hearts of so many with his engaging smile, contagious laugh and positive demeanor. His take-charge attitude and larger-than-life personality endeared him to children and adults alike. This happy, funny, smart, outgoing little boy embodied everything good in the world. After four difficult years of surgeries and treatments, John lost his battle to brain cancer in August 2011; he was

six years old. The John Shapiro Superheroes 5k is a tribute to the memory of our beloved John. For more information, please visit our website:

All proceeds from the event go to the John Shapiro Superheroes Foundation and will benefit local families with children battling cancer.
