Superhero run raises awareness for children with cancer

MADISON, Wis. — A nonprofit that supports families with children with cancer or life-threatening blood diseases held their annual “Superhero” run Saturday.

Over 400 people dressed up as different superheros to run the 5K and 10K run honoring children who are battling cancer at American Family Children’s Hospital.

Badger Childhood Cancer Network organized the event, which serves as its biggest fundraiser of the year. The event raised over $30,000.

All proceeds will go toward supporting families emotionally and financially by providing things like car payments, gas and grocery cards, rent and mortgage payments.
