Crystal Wilkinson was diagnosed with Stage 4 appendix cancer May 21st, 2008 when she was 35 years old. A hard working energetic woman, she was nick-named “Sparky” years before by friends; she was going to need that spark… Crystal met her disease head on, providing inspiration to those around her. Crystal and her husband Lou had to do what too many families have to- they had to explain to their then 4 and 9 year old children that Mom was very sick. Crystal fought for 18 months, and lost her battle on November 11th, 2009, one week after Dillon’s birthday and two weeks after Dakota’s. Her husband, family and friends vowed that her children would always remember her through stories, pictures and this run. This run will help provide funds for their college education and remind them, that in the darkest of times, community is with them.
