Team GI Jeff
Running in memory of a real American Hero – Master Sergeant, Jeff Skinner who passed away earlier this year after a long, brave battle with brain cancer, surpassing his diagnosed life expectancy. Dr. Nabors and his medical team were amazing throughout Jeff’s battle, but it was God, the ultimate physician, that is the only explanation for all of the odds Jeff defied. Jeff was a brave man who served and fought for his country. A man who loved God and loved his family. He also loved to make people laugh and did not miss an opportunity. Today, we run to celebrate the life of this amazing man and to help put an end to brain cancer once and for all.

Team Grudie
“This team is a nickname for my sister, Gretchen Dukes. October 21st, race day, will mark exactly seven weeks from the day our “Grudie” was first diagnosed with having a glioblastoma. Our family’s world has been rocked to the core. But Gretchen has remained so courageous throughout these weeks, bravely facing surgery and now her radiation and chemotherapy regimen with grace, humor and her usual zest for life. We are so proud of my sister, who is also a treasured wife, mother (of 5 amazing kids), daughter, friend, and tireless volunteer. We are running this race specifically in tribute to Gretchen. But we are also running this race in support of all of the medical personnel and researchers serving on the frontline of brain cancer and in honor of all of the individuals, like Gretchen, who are bravely fighting brain cancer and striving hard to better the odds for everyone!”
