2011 EVENT CALENDAR
September 1st-4th 2011-----6th Annual Camp Agape
Camp Agape San Diego is a place where children with cancer have a chance to be kids in a fun, activity-filled outdoor camp environment. Families will have the opportunity to unite and share with other families who are experiencing a similar situation in a relaxed setting. We understand how traumatizing a child's cancer diagnosis can be on the entire family. This weekend is about children developing self confidence while their parents seek support and encouragement. Camp Agape is hosted at the YMCA's Camp Marston in Julian with facilities including an athletic field, basketball courts, archery range, swimming pool, ping-pong tables, climbing tower and campfire area with fully trained camp staff.
September 10th 2011-----Richard Runs for Hope
 On September 10, 2011 Richard will embark in a new journey. Our very own executive director, Richard Nares, is training hard for his most heartfelt run of his life. He will run a 175-mile journey that will start in Los Angeles and end in San Diego with the goal of raising funds to help families battling cancer. What better way to celebrate "Childhood Cancer Awareness Month".

SDBC member Todd Smith got the inspiration to register for the 2010 Leadville 100 mountain bike race from the powerful documentary film "Race Across the Sky." He didn't expect to pass the race's lottery registration, but did. On the same day Todd got the "shocker" race entry acceptance e-mail, he found a profound source of training inspiration while talking with his friend and fellow San Diegan, Diane Nares. Learn more about Todd's Race.
June 6th 2010-----Rock 'n' Roll Marathon

April 19 th 2010-----Boston Marathon
During the 6th Rock 'n' Roll Marathon Richard earned his ticket to run the Boston Marathon, the place where Emilio, Diane, and Richard fought a courageous battle for survival against Leukemia. It's been nearly ten 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!"
