2026 NoahBRAVE 5K supporting NoahBRAVE Foundation
About the Cause
The NoahBRAVE 5K
In September 2020, Noah had been battling terminal DIPG/DMG brain cancer for 12 months. A group of Noah's friends rallied around the Evans family, hosting a virtual 5K (due to Covid), to raise money to help with medical bills and expenses associated with Noah's continued fight. Noah bravely battled for 16-months until he passed away on January 14, 2021 at only 13-years-old.
In September 2021, 8-months after Noah passed away, the NoahBRAVE 5K was held as the first official fundraiser for the NoahBRAVE Foundation. With the funds raised, we were able to accomplish the work and mission of NoahBRAVE; care for families, raise awareness, and fund research for a cure of terminal pediatric brain cancer.
Each year in September, honoring Noah's diagnosis month and Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, the NoahBRAVE 5K takes place serving as the NoahBRAVE Foundation's largest fundraiser of the year.
Funds raised during this event help support families by helping pay for:
- Rent and Mortgage
- Food and Groceries
- Utilities
- Car Expenses
- Travel for clinical trials and treatment
- Loss of wages
- House Cleaning
- Funerals and Bereavement Support
Through the generosity of NoahBRAVE supporters in 2025, the NoahBRAVE Foundation financially supported 134 families battling terminal brain cancer.
