Through this event, we bring people together in support, remembrance, awareness, and action.

Why Awareness Matters​​
​
​RMC is a rare and aggressive cancer that often affects adolescents and young adults and is closely associated with sickle cell trait. Greater awareness can help families, communities, and the public better understand this disease and the urgent need for support and research.
​
​Through remembrance, education, and advocacy, we strive to keep Antonio’s legacy alive while shining a light on a disease that deserves greater understanding and attention.
​​
Honoring lives. Raising awareness. Standing together.
​
No One Gets Left Behind.
