_Join us for a 5K run or a 1-mile walk_ to raise money for the Buchholz family. 
Over the year, this family, located in King George, VA, has had **multiple diagnoses
of the same type of cancer: **Lymphoma. Since September is national Lymphoma awareness
month, a community-sponsored 1 mile/ 5k walk, roll and run has been scheduled to
raise money for the family in which 10% of all proceeds will be gifted to the lymphoma
society for continued lifesaving research. **We are offering this race to all abilities!
Please let us know if you have a need for a racing chariot and we will provide one
through Ainsley’s Angels. **Vendors for shopping, dining, and entertainment will
be available!

The family’s heart-breaking story is below:

_2-year-old Noah Buchholz was diagnosed in January 2019 with a rare Stage 3 T-cell
Lymphoblastic Lymphoma.  Currently, he is undergoing aggressive chemotherapy which
requires multiple hospitalizations and clinic visits to VCU in Richmond, VA. _

_He is a little boy who loves to spend time with his mom (Karen), dad (Will) and
big brother, Liam. His love for shapes, animals, felt, and coloring is undeniable.
Despite his current medical condition, Noah continues to put up his best fight. 
His smile and laughter will brighten anyone’s toughest day._

_As Noah’s family was just starting to somewhat process his diagnosis and treatment,
his 34-year-old Aunt Jenni Buchholz was diagnosed with Stage 4 Anaplastic Large 
T Cell Lymphoma in February 2019. She had an extended hospital stay that included
multiple surgeries and procedures. She is currently at home on oral chemotherapy
while awaiting results from a recent PET scan. Jenni enjoys spending time with family
and friends and is looking forward to days of walking without assistance._
