Run for Brilee
Run for Brilee is a timed 5K fundraiser in Abilene, Texas, held on the Abilene Christian School campus in May. The race honors Brilee Mae Kirk, a young child fighting neuroblastoma, and gives the local community a practical way to support her family through treatment. Money from the event goes toward medical bills, cancer treatments, hospital travel, lodging during longer stays, meals, daily expenses, and lost work time while Brilee’s family cares for her. The heart of the race is simple: runners show up for a 5K, and the proceeds help one Abilene family carry the costs around a serious childhood cancer diagnosis.
