<h3><strong>Annual 5K for Brain Tumor Research</strong></h3> <h3><br />Help Us Conquer Brain Cancer on Saturday, September 13th, 2025</h3> <h3> </h3> <h3>Details: You are welcome to walk or run the 5K! There will be a drink station on the 5K course.</h3> <h3>​</h3> <h3>HOPE…It’s a Beach Thing is a 5K Walk/Run held in memory of Tim Beach, who passed away from a glioblastoma multiform brain tumor in 2012, at age 53. After his initial surgery, Tim was given three to six months to live, possibly a year with treatment. Through clinical trials and with the help of knowledgeable physicians, Tim outlived his prognosis, surviving 21 months. Most of these months, he lived with a high quality of life, enjoying major life events like his daughter’s engagement, son’s wedding, and when his future son-in-law asked for Tim’s blessing on a marriage proposal.</h3> <h3>HOPE…It’s a Beach Thing was inspired by Tim’s passion for running and his love of the University of Dayton. Over the past eleven years, the event has raised $661,000 in net profit for brain tumor research, led by Dana-Farber Cancer Institute&#39;s Dr. David Reardon. Tim’s family and friends HOPE that through brain tumor research, we will find a cure.</h3> <p> </p> <h3>Who: All are welcome! Invite your friends! Bring your pets &amp; kids- you&#39;ll see plenty of strollers and pups joining in the 5K fun!</h3> <h3>​</h3> <h3> </h3>
