 JOIN "TEAM EMILIO"
Donate or join us in the run! The Rock n Roll Marathon is one of the most important fundraising events for ENF. As important as this event is for the foundation, it means so much more to Richard Nares, founder and Executive Director of the Emilio Nares Foundation. This year marks Richard's 6th time running the San Diego Rock 'N' Roll Marathon. With a successful run, he is confident he'll earn his ticket to the Boston Marathon, the place where Emilio, Diane, and Richard fought a courageous battle for survival against Leukemia.
It's been nearly nine years since they all watched the runners pass by Emilio's hospital. Memories that will never cease, for in those few fleeting moments the three of them shared the togetherness that will last them a lifetime. Richard relives those moments constantly. At the time, it never entered their minds that God would allow fate to take the center of their universe, their only child, away from them. But it did.
Though it will be just the two of them returning to Boston, both know that their precious angel will be pushing Richard along the route with resounding encouragement, as he always did, and cheering... "faster! Daddy, faster!"
