About the Race: Remission Run will include a 5-kilometer run/walk and a 1 mile kids/family run at Carl Barton, Jr. Park in Conroe, Texas. The races will take place on multiple terrains including concrete, grass and potentially trails within the park, which are used for high school cross country meets. They will be timed, results will be posted and age group awards will be given. Following the race, we will have a party to celebrate 5 years of remission from blood cancer for Bill Crews. The post race celebration will include a live band, food and awards for the winners. Weather permitting, the fishing ponds will be open as well as the baseball fields. So bring your family for a fun, friendly, race and celebration!

Why We're Doing This...

On January 26, 2004, Dr. Rick Hagemeister walked into the exam room at the Lymphoma Clinic at MD Anderson Cancer Center and smiled at his patient Bill Crews as he said, "You're in complete remission".

Those are the words every cancer patient longs to hear. Even better will be the day when every cancer patient hears "You are cured." Until that day comes, Bill, his family, his friends and many thousands of others continue to fight in the war against cancer.

To celebrate FIVE years of remission, the Crews family and their friends are hosting the first ever Bill Crews Remission Run to celebrate health & life, to raise awareness about lymphoma and other cancers, and to raise funds for the Hagemeister Research Fund.

Your participation in the Remission Run on January 31, 2009 will not only benefit valuable research for lymphoma, but many other cancers as well. It is our hope that someday soon, we can victoriously say, "We have won the war against cancer!"
