As many of you know, our Uncle, Jack Roth, passed away in 2004 from non-smoking lung cancer. He was an extremely important part of our lives and it is how our little Eli Jack got his name.  The Rock'n'Run was established in 2006 to honor our Uncle Jack and his courageous battle against cancer.  This year we will also be racing in honor of our friend Kathy M who passed away this last week of non-smoking lung cancer.

The proceeds from the Rock'n'Run benefit the Jack Roth Fund, which was created to support research and treatment for lung cancer at the Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard Solove Research Center at the Ohio State University Camp Netaim, a program in Israel to benefit children with special needs.  To date the Rock'n'Run has raised over $420,000 to benefit these two wonderful causes. 

We are extremely grateful to our friends and family for the continual support they have given by sponsoring us in the race.  The Rock'n'Run is an important event for our entire family and any amount of support truly means so much.

We hope you will sponsor us as we walk in the 5k as a family on May 22 (although Sophie says she might be running this year)!

Once again, many thanks for your support! 

Love,

Ben, Alyssa, Sophie & Eli
