UPDATE: The annual “John Shapiro’s Superheroes 5K” is set to take place this June in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, honoring the legacy of a young boy who tragically lost his battle with brain cancer in 2011. This year’s event is ramping up excitement as the community comes together to celebrate Shapiro’s inspiring spirit and support families currently fighting cancer.
Each year, the Superheroes Foundation, named after John Shapiro, raises funds through this 5K to provide financial assistance to families facing the devastating impacts of cancer. The organization has successfully raised over $100,000 since its inception, allowing them to assist families in need with resources they can use as they see fit.
“This event is not just a race; it’s a testament to John’s heroic spirit and his ability to inspire those around him,” said a family representative. Participants will wear superhero-themed costumes, embodying the strength and resilience John displayed throughout his life.
