URGENT UPDATE: The annual “John Shapiro’s Superheroes 5K” is set to take place this June in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, continuing its decade-long tradition of honoring a young boy’s legacy. The event is a heartfelt tribute to John Shapiro, who tragically lost his battle with brain cancer in 2011.
This year’s race not only celebrates John’s inspiring spirit but also aims to raise substantial funds for families currently fighting cancer. The Superheroes Foundation, established by John’s family, has become a beacon of hope, providing financial assistance that families can use as they see fit during their challenging times.
The 5K has grown significantly over the years, drawing in participants from across the region. It symbolizes a community coming together to support those in need, embodying the very essence of heroism that John represented in his short life.
Each year, the foundation collects donations that directly aid families battling cancer, ensuring that no one has to face these hardships alone. With the event just around the corner, community members are encouraged to register and contribute to this noble cause.
In addition to the race, the foundation is ramping up its outreach and is inviting more participants to join in the fight against cancer. This year’s event promises to be even more impactful, with a goal to exceed last year’s fundraising totals.
