Alexa and Serena Schwartz

Brain cancer will once again meet its match in April as patients, supporters and family members converge for the 16th Annual Run for the Rose to raise awareness and funds benefiting The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Children’s Memorial Hermann Hospital and McGovern Medical School at UTHealth Houston. The certified run will be held at NRG Park on Sunday, April 10 at 8:15 a.m.

Other race-day activities include a Family 1K and a post-race party at NRG Arena for participants. For interested runners, the 5K run will be chip-timed. Awards will be given to male and female 5K participants who finish first, as well as the top three male and female finishers in specific-age categories. All children completing the 5K and 1K will receive medals. Participants range in age from 2 months to 102 years of age.
