About us

Our goal is to honor the memory of a courageous little boy who lost his battle to brain cancer in August, 2011 at the age of six. John truly was a superhero and all proceeds from our event go to the John Shapiro Superheroes Foundation and will benefit local families with children battling cancer.

John’s Legacy Touches Many

February 6, 2017

Dear Nancy & Ron,
We cannot begin to thank you enough for the extreme generosity of the John Shapiro’s Superheroes Foundation.
Our journey began on September 23, 2015, when our 7 year old daughter, Maddie was diagnosed with ALL Leukemia. Over the course of the past 14 months we have been in awe of the strength of our little girl. We could not be more proud of our little warrior & her very strong & supportive sisters; Abby (10 years old) & Isabelle (6 years old). Maddie has led us through this journey with grace, strength, bravery and courage. Along the way our family has been inspired by the kindness of others.
Most recently, our family has been blessed to receive the support of your foundation, The John Shapiro Superheroes. We are privileged to be a recipient of your Foundation’s generosity. We admire your ability to honor your son, John, in a way that supports families, like ours, struggling with the affects of childhood cancer. We are forever grateful that our family was touched by John’s legacy and are honored to be the recipients of a gift that exemplifies such extreme generosity and kindness. We are forever grateful.

With Sincere Appreciation,
Christine & Harry Swenson
Abigail, Madeline & Isabelle

Meet Julia and her family, they are the reason we race!  Join us on June 6, for our 14th Annual race day, so we can continue to help families fighting pediatric cancer🎗️

“l am the mother of a beautiful little girl named Julia! Julia was diagnosed with B-cell ALL back in March of this year. It has been a long year of tough treatments. I have had to take a step back from work to care for her. Thank you from the bottom of our heart for your very generous gift! This gift helped us purchase Christmas gifts for Julia and other family members. I truly cannot thank you enough for how much your gift helped us this holiday season! We are beyond blessed that organizations like you exist!

Thank you!
Shannon and William”
