Why the Rogers Run for Owen

The Rogers embark on their annual fundraising effort in memory of our friends Adam and Amanda Petrzelka's son, Owen who lost his battle to DIPG in 2020 at age 6.

Join us in honoring Owen's strength and infectious giggle in hopes of creating a brighter outcome for other kiddos who face this terrible disease.
