Brooklyn Rose Strong 5K

We will be hosting the 3rd Annual BrooklynRoseStrong 5K Family Fun Walk/Run on September 12, 2026 at the Lakefront in Saint Cloud, FL in memory of Brooklyn Rose Medina, a local #DIPG warrior.  All of the proceeds from the race will go to support pediatric brain cancer research.  

100% of all donations go directly to Brooklyn's Petals of Hope Foundation in memory of Brooklyn, so ever dollar makes a difference.  Please consider donating to this worthy cause and start giving these kids hope as they fight the deadliest of cancers.  Every bit helps.    

We encourage team registrations!  We will have awards for the Largest Team and the Most Spirited Team!  So bring on the team spirit!  We will also be celebrating the Top Male and Top Female Finishers!  This is a family friendly event, so bring the kiddos and we will make sure they have their own kids dash before the morning is through! 

We also have awards for the Top Individual Fundraiser and the Top Team Fundraiser.  So get those fundraising ideas flowing, register yourself or team as a Fundraiser and let the competition begin!  

We look forward to seeing you all out there to help us bring awareness to DIPG during Childhood Cancer Awareness Month!  Let's use our steps to help find a cure!

If you want the medal you have register!  You won't want to miss out on this beautiful design!

We are bringing back our Top Individual and Top Team Fundraiser Challenges for this year's event. Get creative, register as a fundraiser, and join us in easing the burden for DIPG families. All proceeds will be donated to Brooklyn's Petals of Hope Foundation.
