This year and every year, I race for you, Dad!
"Pavone's Pinstripes" - In honor of Neal A. Pavone
Our Story:
On May 5, 2024 our team will participate in our 6th 5K Race for Hope DC to benefit the National Brain Tumor Society. For the past 5 years, team captains Lisa Griffin and Katey Tonzelli, have run the Race for Hope as individuals... but this year we have formalized Team Pavone's Pinstripes in honor of our late father Neal A. Pavone.
In January 2017 our father was suddenly diagnosed with a terminal and incurable form of brain cancer, Glioblastoma. After five months of providing his care as he went through aggressive chemo and radiation therapy, Dad passed away, leaving behind his wife, three daughters, son-in-laws, and four (now five) grandchildren.
Pavone's Pinstripes is dedicated to helping others who have been affected by Glioblastoma, and all forms of Brain Tumors. By joining forces with the National Brain Tumor Society, we can all make an impact!
Thank you for considering your participation and/or donation to this event. As Katey and I like to say, "This year and every year, I run for you, Dad!"
