ChadTough 5K expands to Grand Rapids for pediatric cancer research

SALINE, MI - This year's RunTough for ChadTough event features a new location in Grand Rapids in addition to Saline as part of the pediatric cancer research fundraiser.

The race, which takes place on Sept. 23 at Saline High School, has expanded to include a Grand Rapids location the same day, honoring Tommy Ruddy, who succumbed to diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas on Nov. 3, 2016.

All proceeds from the RunTough for ChadTough race benefit DIPG and pediatric brain cancer research, named in honor of Chad Carr, the grandson of former Michigan football coach Lloyd Carr and Michigan All-American Tom Curtis, who lost his battle with DIPG on Nov.
