San Antonio is home to BIG Love Cancer Care's NEWEST program and 6th hospital, Methodist Children's Hospital. Many of you viewing this page have heard me talk about my time and experiences working with children and families fighting childhood cancer. Someone once said, "When you see a child fighting cancer, it changes your life forever."

Santa Dash is one of the largest fundraisers BIG Love hosts to raise money for their 20+ programs. Whether it's providing a meal to an inpatient family on Thanksgiving, a care package to a newly diagnosed teenager, financial assistance to the single parent, or even a new transmission to allow for reliable transportation to chemotherapy appointments, your donations and registrations for this event make a measurable difference in the lives of these hero families. (Plus, who doesn't need to run a 5K or two during the Christmas cookie season?)
