Running to end brain cancer

The 21st Annual Run for the Rose, hosted by the Dr. Marnie Rose Foundation (DMRF), takes place on Sunday, March 30 at Helix Park. Established by the Rose family in 2002 to honor the memory of their beloved daughter and sister, a pediatric physician and brain cancer patient, DMRF supports research and awareness efforts for pediatric brain cancer. This year’s event features a certified 5K Run, Family 1K Run, Survivor Stroll, and Post-Race Party for all participants. Through fundraising efforts, including the annual Run for the Rose, DMRF has donated more than $7 million to The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Children’s Memorial Hermann Hospital, and McGovern Medical School at UTHealth Houston. Pictured, from left, at last year’s Run for the Rose are Lanie, Myles, Kendall, Deborah, Lexie, and Madison Rose. For more information or to register for the event, visit runfortherose.com.
