Description

Esophageal Cancer is one of the fastest growing cancers in the United States. It is the 7th most common cancer in the world. This cancer is considered one of the deadliest, with a five year survival rate of less than 15%. Why am I passionate about esophageal cancer awareness? I want to eradicate this "beast" because there is one more name to add to the death list. That name is Brad Chik, my brother.


This story is about my big brother, Brad. Brad was a unique individual with his own sense of personal style. He loved all of our Colorado sports teams, especially the Rockies and the Broncos. More than just my big brother, Brad was a son, an uncle, a nephew, a cousin, a friend, and a Warrior. A Warrior that was sick with this awful disease - Esophageal Cancer, otherwise known as "The Beast".


Brad with his youngest niece RileyRae Mohs

Brad was first diagnosed in February 2013. By September his health was in steady decline. I felt helpless and wanted to do anything to make things better. It was at this time, I was blessed to spend a lot of 'windshield time' taking Brad to various chemotherapy, CAT scan and doctor appointments. During these trips, Brad and I would talk about all sorts of things, one being; 'Where does money from fundraising events go?' Brad told me that he was supportive of fundraising efforts, because he felt that some of his financial burdens were lifted due of donations. This particular conversation resonated with me... Brad with niece Sienna Mohs

Brad lost his courageous battle on November 2, 2013.


As I continue to replay that conversation, I invite you to participate in this 3rd Annual 5K Family Fun Run in memory of Brad! I encourage everyone to wear Rockies or Broncos gear to embrace the spirit and personality of Brad, and pay tribute to him. Thank you to all the runners, walkers, volunteers, spectators and sponsors who are supporting the race! It will be a great success and pay forward what others already gave to my big brother, our Warrior, Brad.
