How It All Began

Landon Stillitano and his family.

It all started in 2013 when a twelve year-old boy wanted to raise money and awareness for Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) – a disease his mother has had for over 20 years. Now, his mission has turned into a support system for CRPS patients and their families. Here he proudly stands at the 2019 race with his family.
