The Alicia Jarvis Butterfly Wagon 5K & Kids Fun Run is being held to honor our daughter, sister, niece, cousin, friend and inspiration, Alicia. Alicia was a beautiful, smart, and loving 17 year old junior student at Hamilton Township High School who was a member of the band. After she experienced a fall and was not improving, that is when we heard the unthinkable words of a brain tumor on her brain stem that was inoperable. While we were all trying to process the news, Ali remained positive and upbeat even giving her doctors nicknames and sharing lots of smiles. Ali was determined to pursue a degree in electrical engineering from Alabama University, even after being told of her diagnosis. Ali began treatment in March of 2014 and the brain tumor did not respond to the treatment and instead grew. After many heartbreaking weeks as a patient at Nationwide Children’s Hospital we decided to bring Ali home for her final days. During our time at Children’s we experienced the outpouring of support and encouragement from everyone we encountered. Watching families, who were also dealing with their own crisis and seeing that somedays the smallest things made you smile. This year to honor our loved and extremely missed, Alicia we wanted to purchase a Butterfly Wagon in her memory. These wagons are used by the families at Nationwide Children’s Hospital to provide help transporting the children and their items during their time at the hospital. Sometimes it provides a ride around the floor and other times it provides a ride to their car to take them home. Ali watched her cousins playing and riding in the wagons during her stay. Please join us for the Run / Walk, to not only honor Ali but also to provide smiles for the patients of Children’s Hospital.
