An anonymous donor—and very special angel—has pledged $200,000, and issued an ”Angel Challenge” to every team who participated in 2009, to raise even more for brain tumor research in 2010!
Find out the details and see who's meeting the challenge!

LeAnn and Cameron Jackson at the 2009 Angels Among Us

 

 

LeAnn and Cameron Jackson at the 2009 Angels Among Us event.

Cameron was diagnosed in February, 2008, with Medulloblastoma. After his surgery, Cameron endured months of radiation and chemotherapy along with physical therapy to learn how to walk again. During this time, he would often say “I just want to be able to run and play again!” One year later and cancer free, Cameron ran the last 50 yards of the Angels Among Us 5K with his mom, LeAnn; crossing the finish line after the greatest battle of his life.

Angels Among Us is a celebration of life, strength, courage and commitment. It has become a national event, with thousands coming from all across the country to volunteer, participate, and make a difference.

The event begins with a 5K run through the Duke campus, and then features a wonderful family fun walk through the beautiful Sarah P. Duke Gardens. It has a family-friendly focus with entertainment, food, raffle, souvenirs, activities and prizes for children, and a closing ceremony where the top ten fundraising teams receive an award, and the grand total for the event is announced.

The success of Angels Among Us has continued to grow each year with the help of many committed volunteers, Duke staff, and the teams made up of families and friends of those who have had brain or spinal tumors. At the first event in 1994, a total of $27,000 was raised. This year’s event raised over $1,410,540. Unbelievable!
