A Message from our President at Liam's Lighthouse Foundation:

Join us for a very unique, uplifting, and inclusive afternoon by participating in the Liam’s Lighthouse Foundation’s annual Meet & Greet event, to kick off our 2020 5K To Fight Histio awareness campaign!

This event usually takes place at a signature New York City venue the day before the 5K and allows Teams and their guests to come together and connect on a more intimate and personal level. 

Some families are meeting for the first time and others returning to reunite in the fight by sharing their individual experiences with Histio, each offering one another support and encouragement in their journeys. 

This year, as the 5K To Fight Histio goes virtual due to COVID-19, Liam’s Lighthouse Foundation wishes to continue the tradition of bringing our community together by hosting a virtual Meet & Greet, EXCLUSIVE to 5K REGISTRANTS at no additional cost, on Sunday, July 19, 2020 at 1:00 p.m. EST. 

We are very excited to announce that Dr. Michael Jordan from Cincinnati Children’s Hospital and Dr. Ken McClain from Texas Children’s Hospital will be joining us for a Q&A session in regards to the treatment, management, and current research of histiocytic disorders. 

To be part of this one of a kind event, please visit www.5KtoFightHistio.org today to register for this emotionally positive and powerful event!

What is the 5K to Fight Histio?

The 5K to  Fight Histio takes place each year at Hudson River Park in New York City. It started with under 200 registrants in 2013 after Liam's Lighthouse Foundation and its supporters wanted to expand their outreach and awareness during the time they spent together in New York City.  In previous years we reached almost 500 registrants prior to race day! This 5K helps families from around the world gather together for a cause they hold close to their hearts and raise much needed funds for Histiocytosis at leading researching hospitals in the US.  Join us  and REGISTER today!

What Histio Families Are Saying...

         All I can say was that this weekend was absolutely incredible. I'll never forget the stories that were shared and the people that I met...thank you Liam's Lighthouse!!!!" - M.Rivera (NY)

"I can't wait to be submerged in the heart of NYC for 4 days with my camera in tow to catch the excitement of this event and NYC itself (except for while I'm running haha)... I have a feeling this is going to be yet another life altering experience for me, one I'm truly looking forward to!!!" -J.Marie (NH)
