Joey Fabus Superhero Run Over DIPG 5K run and 1 Mile walk The Joey Fabus Superhero 5K Run and 1 Mile Walk takes place every September at Bethel Park High School. On January 21, 2015 Joey died from DIPG.

The Joey Fabus Superhero Run 5K Race/ 1 mile Walk is an annual event that raises DIPG awareness and funds for children and families affected by childhood cancer. Joey was an 8 year old boy who was diagnosed with and inoperable brain tumor in May 2014. His cancer was DIPG (diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma) and currently the survival rate is 0%. The Joey Fabus Childhood Cancer Foundation has been fo

rmed in his honor to help bring awareness and funding to find a cure for DIPG. We need sponsors to help make this event a success. By extending your support for the race, you will be exposing your company to Pittsburgh’s large running community while demonstrating your compassion for children who are currently diagnosed with DIPG and those who have passed. Please be a superhero to the community and most importantly the children by supporting this cause.
