Both John and Mollie ran 4 miles, every 4 hours , for 48 hours to honor Landon, and raise awareness and funding for the foundation.

We know he was right there cheering you on the entire time.

Sending a Big Thank You to Brady…

The Landon Vargas Foundation would like to thank Brady, an eighth grade student this past school year at North Penn School District ,for choosing our foundation as a recipient of his year long service project. Brady was required to do a service project for his gifted Leadership Program in which he not only had to volunteer and participate in, but he had to plan and lead it as well. Brady researched childhood cancer and the needs of childhood cancer foundations. He discovered that teenage boys were the group most often missed in getting assistance from cancer foundations. Brady led a plan to raise toys and items most needed and wanted for boys in this age group. He approached us to let us know that the Landon Vargas Foundation would receive the items he had collected for the teens. We are in awe of Brady and his ability to research, plan, lead, and follow through at such a young age. His items will bring many smiles to our teenage warriors!

Sending a Big Thank You to Amy…
