Kids Helping Kids: Meet Addison

/in , /by

Addison has already committed her 13th birthday to the Isabella Santos Foundation to help kids fighting cancer. She plans to host a pool party and ask for donations instead of presents. Addison gathered her friends last summer for a lemonade stand and raised over $100 in her neighborhood. She has now recruited some of those same friends to run with her on Isabella’s Run Team.

Last year, Addison was the youngest member of Isabella’s Run Team. She showed up every Saturday morning wearing purple and ready to get in her miles. She is a quiet runner, but she is motivated and raised over $1,000 to help kids fighting cancer. What an honor it is to have Addison as part of the ISF family!

Hi, I’m Addison and I’m 12 years old. This is my second year on the Isabella Santos Run Team. I love this team because you can interact while running around cool places!! One time we ran near a Starbucks and after the run I got to pick out my favorite drink, we also ran near Amelie’s and got macaroons after!!

When my mom asked if i wanted to join the team again this year I was honored.

This team has made me so grateful for everything I have and makes me happy to do it. A few years ago a good friend of ours, Noah Hays, was diagnosed with cancer, and sadly he passed away last June.  My friends and I raised money by setting up a lemonade stand with friends and gave it to Noah’s family!! I’m so glad I got to give Noah something memorable before it was his time.

Running for this cause is what makes me want to help raise money so that it can go towards finding a cure and to help other kids with cancer.  I realize that running and fundraising is a simple way to help real life problems. I’m honored to be a part of this team and happy some more friends my age are joining. If you have an interest in running (even if you aren’t normally a runner, this team helps you get better) I recommend you try this team. Last year I could barely run a 5k and I have run two 10ks now!! This club has inspired me so much.  This year I plan to host neighborhood lemonade stands and bake sales and also do a fundraiser cookout at my house for my 13th birthday in July. Last year I raised over $1000 for this team and I would love to beat that total this year!

Addison, Member of Isabella’s Run Team

How can you not feel inspired by Addison, we certainly do! Nothing better than kids helping kids and Addison provides a great example of another way to get involved with our community. With Addison’s birthday coming up at the end of July, we hope you feel moved to help cheer her on by making a single donation to her ISF Run Team fundraising page. Every single dollar counts in helping bring change to rare pediatric cancer in Charlotte and beyond.

Endurance running program supports Isabella Santos Foundation

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – June 3, 2019 – The Isabella Santos Foundation (ISF) is recruiting members for its Isabella’s Run Team.

Open to all running levels, Isabella’s Run Team is an endurance running program for individuals to raise money for the Isabella Santos Foundation while training for races throughout the area. Starting in June, the team will train as one group in memory of Isabella Santos who passed away from Neuroblastoma at age seven. Each member will participate in one or more races that work best for their individual schedule and the entire group will also participate in the Isabella Santos Foundation 12th Annual 5K/10K for Kids Canceron Saturday, Sept. 28. 

Sponsored by Pure Barre Ballantyne, Isabella’s Run Team can accommodate any level of fitness and will provide training plans for the race of your choice, whether it be a 5K, marathon, or triathlon. The team will also provide weekend long runs and weekday run options; team swag; socials; camaraderie and motivation. All that’s required to join is a small donation of $50 to kick-start your fundraising page as you work towards a fundraising goal of at least $500. To sign up, visit https://isabellasantosfoundation.org/run-team/.

“The Isabella Run Team is a great way to train with a purpose and to raise money to help us build the best pediatric cancer hospital,” said Erin Santos, executive director and president of the Isabella Santos Foundation. “We appreciate the dedication and efforts of our Isabella Run Team members and sponsors who go above and beyond to support our mission and to impact our local pediatric cancer community.”

“The Run Team has grown into a group of athletes who enjoy training together while also supporting an amazing cause. Between getting up for early morning runs or having to keep pushing when you’re fatigued, training for a race is naturally challenging, but having Isabella’s name on my shirt gives me the motivation that I need to know that I can get through it,” said Brian Levy, head coach for Isabella’s Run Team. “Our goal for 2019 is to provide the resources to as many athletes as possible to help them prepare for their goal race, and also to continue supporting and raising awareness for the Isabella Santos Foundation so that we can move one step closer to beating this disease. Having Pure Barre join the team as a sponsor this year is very exciting; they will be a great partner to help us achieve our goals.”
