I want to take a moment to thank everyone who made the Sloane Swanton Research 5k possible. While I cannot hug each and every one of you, I can say THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS! Whether you came in person to the race, participated virtually, donated, sponsored the race or volunteered your time, we are humbled by your support over the last 3 years. This year we raised $23,553.11 to send to the Chordoma Foundation and Labs for pediatric Chordoma research. If you would like to learn more about where the money is going check out this article about a recent breakthrough for pediatric patients. Again, thank you for helping to turn our grief into a legacy for our sweet Sloane.

Sponsor Highlight #4:

I wanted to pair these two sponsors together because not only are they great companies, but they are also even better friends. These two family run businesses will take care of you as if was their own house.

Rain Wizard Irrigation is the absolute best company to turn to when you have irrigation needs, whether that be installing a new system or upgrading your existing.

Kleinhenz Landscape will design the yard of your dreams and add those personal touches you have been hoping for.

Just like we are a small, family run non-profit, they are family run as well. Just like us, they understand the importance of family and are there to help you spend more time with yours. Check them out at http://www.kleinhenzlandscape.com

Sponsor Highlight #3

Enchanted Care Westerville has been with us since the beginning. Not only have they been supporting our cause for the last three years, they were also the people we turned to when our children were ready for daycare. We have made lasting friendships not only with the families we met there but also with teachers and administrators who have taken care of our girls and helped to take care of us in our biggest time of need. We cannot thank the Enchanted Care community enough for all they have done for us.

Please join us and them for a great cause! A special shoutout to Cierra Kirk for being one of the best supporters of our family!
