Race for Caitlin

🏃‍♀️ Race Overview

On May 3rd, the TAE Junior Rotarians are holding this Race for Caitlin to raise funds for the family of Caitlin Buchanan. Caitlin is a freshman at Thomas A. Edison High School and has recently been diagnosed with rhabdomyosarcoma. She is receiving treatment at Strong Memorial Hospital including surgery and chemotherapy.
