Help Brian Run London for Kids Fighting Brain Cancer

One of our own is going big. Brian Wu, a familiar face at our Thursday and Saturday runs, is running the 2027 London Marathon as part of Team Fired Up with Villains Take London. He’s running to help end pediatric brain cancer.

Brian is raising money for the Dragon Master Initiative, which funds research into aggressive childhood brain tumors. These are some of the deadliest cancers there are, and kids diagnosed with them often have less than a year. The Dragon Master Initiative works to break down silos between researchers, connecting scientists around the world and using a data-driven approach to crack the disease’s genetic code. Donations go straight to the tools, data systems and lab supplies that research depends on.

In Brian’s words: “Every step I take is dedicated to the brave children and families facing this diagnosis.”

His goal is $3,750, and every dollar gets him closer. If you’ve ever logged miles next to Brian, or just want to back a runner doing something meaningful, please consider chipping in. Can’t donate? Sharing his page helps too.
