Miles' Story and Race Details
Miles Jacobsen is one of the many kids in Kansas City battling a brain tumor. Days after his 9th birthday in March 2024, he was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor. After a long year of chemotherapy, Miles is now awaiting the development of more targeted therapy that will help him fight the growth of this tumor. Despite these challenges, Miles is a joyful and active kid whose positive outlook has inspired hundreds, if not thousands, of people since his diagnosis. His heart beats strong for people of all ages who are enduring their own cancer journeys, and he’s always looking to lift other people’s spirits. He has taken to running over the last year as a way to raise funds and awareness for children’s brain tumors. As the namesake for the Miles for Miles Foundation, he is a young spokesperson raising awareness and funds for his own future, and the future of many kids who are fighting their own brain cancer battles.
Because brain tumor research is the least funded cancer research in the country, every donation matters! That’s why the proceeds from this race will be donated to The Children’s Brain Tumor Foundation to support their work helping families affected by pediatric brain tumors, and to fund cutting edge medical research.
