Enduring to the End With Eric


We are honored to run the Heading for Hope 5K in honor of our friend, Eric Christiansen. Eric and his family have faced brain cancer with remarkable courage and faith, and we want to surround him with love and encouragement every step of the way.

This race is more than miles—it’s a chance for us, as friends and family, to rally around Eric and show our support. By joining our team or making a donation, you’re helping carry hope forward in his name.

With gratitude,
Lisa & Ragina
