Pediatric cancer supporters, physicians and hundreds of current and former pediatric cancer and blood disorder patients and their families were united with a common goal of crossing the finish line in support and in memory of those who lost their fight against pediatric cancer. On Saturday, June 8, the Jonathan Jaques Children’s Cancer Center (JJCCC) at Miller Children’s Hospital Long Beach held its 28th Annual Champions Run for Life Torch Run and raised more than $250,000 for pediatric cancer research at JJCCC.
