In 2009, Rik Zortman, ran a route that spelled out “Armstrong,” the name of his 3-year-old son who died from glioblastoma that same year.
Now, he continues on as the “Human Etch-a-Sketch” and plans his running routes using his mobile GPS tracker to spell out the names of other childhood cancer heroes to raise awareness, honor their courage and help find cures by fundraising through The #MillionMile.
Thank you, Rik, for going the distance for kids with cancer! 🎗️ #childhoodcancerawareness
