Send your photos, videos, memories of how you are shining brightly! Comfort colors t-shirt, swag bag and goodies! All monies raised are for the numerous Tini Spark in the Dark Scholarships in memory and honor of our precious forever 19 year old daughter Tini. "And I compare it to a spark in the dark. As small as a spark in the dark might be, it can be seen by all those around it. And if those sparks encourage further sparks, a tremendous light can be created and overcome any and all darkness. So, as easy as it is to say "my one life and heart probably won't make much of a difference, considering how many people there are in the world," you're wrong. Sorry, not sorry! There is power in one heart, just as there is power in one spark." ~ Tini Semeria You can read Tini's entire blog here - https://christinasemeria.wordpress.com/ You can download Tini's original song "Be Still" here - https://christinasemeria.org/2017/01/29/be-still-download-available/

Katie Crowell was a dedicated member of our Milton community who gave 100% of herself in service to others. She was an advocate, a runner, a volunteer, a fundraiser, a mom, a wife, a daughter, a sister, and a friend. This amazing woman was diagnosed with stage IV metastatic breast cancer (MBC) in 2015 while 32 weeks pregnant. Katie has always used her passion for running to help others.

In the span of 15 years, Katie has raised well over $100,000 for her favorite causes. Armed with the knowledge that her subtype of cancer carried an average lifespan of 2-3 years, Katie persevered and made it her mission to raise awareness of MBC,
