Debbie Green was a 7 year old girl from Benwood, WV. In 1970, she was diagnosed with leukemia and for two long years she battled the disease with courage and determination. Debbie lost her courageous battle with leukemia and now, from tragedy comes triumph, and from sadness comes hope. Debbie's memory lives on with this wonderful event which benefits local children who also suffer from leukemia and need our love and support.

To Benefit // Proceeds of the event will benefit a local recipient who suffers from leukemia. The recipient will be announced on race day.
