CRUSH CANCER for COHEN: Pub Run & Walk

Run or walk 2-4 miles. Drink some ice cold beer. Support an incredible young man fighting cancer!

In May, Austin Cohen celebrated his 15th birthday while undergoing an experimental immunotherapy trial in NYC. Flashback to January 2014, Austin was experiencing knee pain, and in just a few shot months his life had changed. He had part of his leg removed and was fighting cancer invading his lungs. Despite the pain and suffering he’s experienced, Austin remains optimistic and one day hopes to run a marathon on his prosthetic. Until then, Austin and his family need our support.
