Brain on Fire 5K for Hope
July 3, 2019
The Dewees Family is organizing a 5K run to raise awareness for Autoimmune Encephalitis.
March 2019, just one day after turning 13, Luke Dewees was diagnosed with Autoimmune Encephalitis. The next month was a terrifying and trying time. Luke spent more than 3 weeks in the hospital battling this rare and evasive disease. With the aid of excellent medical care, the power of prayer, love of family and friends…God brought Luke through this illness and home for Easter. We are so grateful for the many people who stood behind our family in hope and prayer. Luke suggested we organize a 5K Race in order to raise AE Awareness and provide financial assistance to the Autoimmune Encephalitis. So here we go!
There are many ways you can help: Come run the race. Volunteer on race day. Become a corporate sponsor. Donate goods or services. If you can help in any way, please email us at brainonfire5k@gmail.com
