Run For Hope

Info

This is a 5k race and a 1-mile fun run that raises money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. The race is held every year in honor of Lisa Burmeister, a Baylor AFROTC cadet who died 13 years ago suddenly from leukemia. She was also involved in Arnold Air Society, a service organization within ROTC. Since then, Arnold Air Society has been committed to raise funds through Run For Hope to help find a cure for leukemia and other blood-related cancers.
