The Race for Research was founded in honor of Michele Plachy-Rubin. Michele was diagnosed with brain cancer in December 1996. Her friends and family organized the first race in 1997 to raise money for cancer research efforts in Colorado. Michele participated in the first race with her young son but unfortunately lost her fight with cancer in 1998. The race lives on in her memory.

Your poster can include a single photo or it can be a collage of photos of your honoree. We will ask you to email us a digital photo (s) and our graphic artist will create a draft of a poster for your review before printing. The deadline to receive your donations and the photo for your poster is August 3. This allows time for the creation and approval of poster artwork and printing.These posters then become the property of Cancer League of Colorado. They can be renewed annually for $150.
