After two years of running FOR Noah, this team finally had the chance to run WITH Noah!

PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania --"Noah is a remarkable boy that unfortunately, right before the pandemic, suffered a break in his leg and they discovered that he had osteosarcoma," said Vincent Myers of Cherry Hill, New Jersey."Since the pandemic, myself and my run group have dedicated all of our miles to Noah, running under the hashtag, 'We Run for Noah,'" he said.

Noah, now a 13-year-old who lives in Swedesboro, New Jersey, has overcome many hurdles in the last two years to reach a monitoring stage with his cancer. And today, he felt the love in more than just the half marathon's title. "It means a lot to me that they have been through this tough time in my life and they've supported me throughout everything," he said.. The organization promotes inclusion by providing 'Angel Riders' with chairs that are fit to be pushed by 'Angel Runners' during events like the Love Run.

"We help special needs kids and adults, people aren't able to run, and we get them off the sidelines and we take them to the finish line," said Dave Goldstein, Ambassador for the South Jersey chapter."It's great for me because my son can't walk, he can't talk, there's not a lot of activities he can do and he loves running."
