Greg tears up when he remembers one of his early visits to the UC Barrett Cancer Center with his wife, Ginny, newly diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor in July 2008. “I remember being on the elevator that summer,” he says. “We were going to and from Cincinnati and West Chester every day for something. We were constantly going someplace to see a doctor. And on the elevator there was a young guy with his wife. I think he had a brain tumor. And I spoke to him, and he told me, ‘You’re on a journey, and it’s not going to be over today.’”

Christi-Anne Beatty, an 11-year-old ninth grader at Covington Latin, came to Walk Ahead for a Brain Tumor Cure to help her mother, Angeline Beatty, on the volunteer team. But something in the air told Christi that she was really there to run in honor of a friend who had a brain tumor.
