As some of you may or may not know, our near and dear friend Jon Arbalaez was diagnosed with colon cancer back in November 2019 and has been battling it ever since. If you don't know Jon, he is about as generous and loving as they come. He would literally give the shirt off his back to someone who needed it and is known for being a great friend to all those he encounters. I January 2020 it was discovered that the cancer is at stage 4 and has spread throughout his body meaning surgery has too much potential for risk therefore he is currently undergoing chemotherapy several times a month. As you can imagine, medical bills are beginning to stack up quickly and for anyone who has ever experienced anything remotely close to having a close friend or family member diagnosed with a serious illness such as cancer, you know that the financial burden of having to deal with something of that nature is an additional stress and concern that they would be much better off without. I have created this 5K fundraiser in an attempt to lessen that burden for Jon and his family. 100% of the proceeds from this race will be donated to Jon and his family to help pay bills to keep Jon in this fight. All the support, love and prayers are much needed and appreciated at this point!
