Team Hailey 5k Run/Walk For A Cure
In June of 2007, 20 month old Hailey Jaye Meltz was diagnosed with the unthinkable – an inoperable and incurable brain tumor. But rather than give in to this terrible disease, Hailey’s family has begun the fight of their lives in order to provide Hope for Hailey. You can join the fight and give this little girl and thousands of children like her a chance to focus on fighting for their dreams, not their lives.
