Sign up today for the 2nd Annual Sloane Swanton Research Run! This is a 5K run/walk that will take place on Sunday, September 10, 2023, at our NEW LOCATION in downtown Columbus at Genoa Park (303 W Broad St, Columbus, OH 43215)! Why the location switch? Simply put, we outgrew last year's location at the Westerville Sports Complex due to the number of participants in our race, so we needed to look for a venue that could hold more runners and walkers! Likewise, we are very excited about the long-term future of our event and for the ability to grow in our new downtown environment. Thank you so much for your continued support, and we hope that you will join us again this September for another wonderful event! In addition to the new location, we have also added a Kids Fun Run to race day morning! The Kids Fun Run will take place at 8:45 am (15 minutes prior to the start of the 5K) and is approximately 100 meters long and untimed (just for fun!). We are also excited to offer a virtual 5K option for those who cannot attend on race day but would still like to support Pediatric Chordoma Research. Click the "Sign Up" button below to head over to the race website for more information. We hope to see you in September!
Sloane's Story
On May 26, 2021, the Swanton family's lives changed forever. Their youngest daughter, Sloane, was diagnosed with a 1 in a million brain tumor called a Pediatric Clival Chordoma. There is no treatment protocol for chordoma, especially in children. Sloane underwent 2 brain surgeries, 3 rounds of chemotherapy and was placed on a ventilator twice. The tumor started responding to chemo and Sloane regained her ability to move on her own, to breathe on her own and to even begin acting like a toddler again. Unfortunately though, the tumor stopped responding and started to grow despite all of the medical interventions she received. Sloane lost her battle to chordoma on September 14, 2021 at only 18 months old. Please join us in raising money to support Pediatric Chordoma Research through the Sloane Swanton 5K Research Run. Every dollar raised will help us move closer to finding a way to treat pediatric chordoma and develop new chemotherapy drugs to target those specific tumor cells. Her fight is our fight now, her legacy is to help other children beat this horrible disease.
