Current Race Family
Kevyn Baker and Patricia Lora were blessed on Valentines Day 2024 with their little girl Mia. She arrived six weeks early due to complications with her intestines and had two surgeries removing 75% of her colon and attempting to fix her stomach. The family is going to NYC at the beginning of June for Mia's 3rd and final attempt to surgically repair her stomach and colon so that she can be taken off of the TBN treatment, her current form of nutrition via central line, keeping her alive. A transplant is a last resort and has not been done enough to give Patty and Kevyn much hope. Patty had to quit her barista job in order to take full-time care of Mia. As you can imagine this has put a strain on their budget for their blended family of seven, especially with the added medical costs and travel for treatment. Our help will ease the financial burden and their wish is to be able to hire a home health aide so Patty can be a full-time Mama to all of their children. A wish for little Mia, is of course, to be free of TBN Tubes 18 hours a day so that she can learn to crawl and walk without risking damage to her life-giving ports. Until then we would like to purchase a riding toy that safely brings her nutritional IV's with her and gives her the freedom every toddler enjoys.
There are no registration refunds, all proceeds will be donated to help support a specific family in need, the Golisano Children's Hospital Financial Fund, and the CCHS Daniel Myslivecek Scholarship.
Thank you for your support!

Description
This 5K race is in remembrance of Daniel Myslivecek, who lost his battle with Melanoma at the age of 16. A friend of Daniel's organized the first 5K in 2005 to help the family with medical costs. Daniel ran in that first race and died 4 months later from his illness. The 5K has continued with the support of our community and each year the proceeds are given to a family or organization that helps children with a life-threatening illness while heightening Melanoma awareness.
