ABOUT US
Fight the Flame began with a spark of resilience and hope in the face of adversity. Once a dedicated teacher who loved inspiring young minds, I never imagined how drastically my life would change after an injury at work. That injury brought Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) into my life, and I became a Pain Fighter, navigating the challenges of this debilitating condition while searching for strength and purpose. Amid this journey, my son Landon, at just 12 years old, ignited the flame that started it all. Wanting to make a difference for me and others battling CRPS, he created the very first Fight the Flame 5K and 1K Family Roll & Stroll. What began as a simple event to raise awareness has grown into a powerful movement fueled by a community of supporters, patients, families, and advocates.
