Remission Run began as a way to celebrate non-Hodgkin lymphoma survivor Bill Crews' 5 year annniversary of remission. He discovered he was in remission at the end of January 2004, but because his disease is currently "incucrable" he had to continue more than two years of treatments. Following those treatments, Bill returns regularly to MD Anderson Cancer Center for check ups with his lymphoma doctor, Rick Hagemeister. Bill is a marathoner and triathlete. He is a USAT certified coach and Ironman finisher as well. He credits the strength of his faith, his family and his doctor with his survival.

Bill has been featured in Runner's World, Triathlete Magazine and many other magazines and newspapers. He has appeared many times on television and radio to tell his story in hopes that it will inspire people to fight their cancer and go on to live a full, purposeful life. Dr. Hagemeister has become a great friend, encouraging Bill's active lifestyle even during cancer treatments.

100% of the proceeds of The Bill Crews Remission Run are donated to the Hagemeister Research Fund. Your participation in this race is a way for you to use your healthy body to aid the cause of eliminating cancer.

*The Second Annual Bill Crews Remission Run is scheduled for January 30, 2010. It will once again include a 5K run on various terrains and a children/family 1 mile race. Our theme for the race is "Heroes". We will be honoring men, women and children who have fought or continue to fight cancer. We also encourage kids and even grown ups to enjoy our 2010 race theme by dressing as your favorite hero or super hero. Some special door prizes will be given to the coolest costumes!
