Sharing a hi-five with my mom
after the race
My brother, Scott “Screamin Ebe” was a loyal friend, a loving father and a simple, good hearted guy. I will keep a high heart and happy memories of Scott as I continue to run in his honor and support great causes in his memory!
I started running races in memory of my brother, Scott "Screamin Ebe" after he was killed in a car accident on January 15, 2008. Running in his memory and raising money for The Knights of Heroes gives me and my
family the opportunity to support a great
cause in my brother's honor.
I first heard of the Knights of Heroes when my nephew Tyler (Scott's son) picked them as our charity for the Marine Corps 10K. As Tyler, my husband, and I sat around the fire pit one night and read the organization's mission, we all knew in a heart beat that we wanted to support the Knights of Heroes.... They provide character building camps for young
men and women who lost their Father's while serving our country... They bring together similarly situated kids from across the country while participating in exciting outdoor activities in Colorado. The "knight's code" core values are instilled throughout the week in an outdoor high adventure setting to give these kids an uplifting experience and an opportunity to build character and lasting friendships. Although my brother died in a car accident, not in combat, he was a Marine, and the common thread reinforced that this charity was a great match for us.
Because of so many generous donations, these uplifting summer camps are possible. Tyler, Jon and I are honored to volunteer and mentor at these camps this summer. Thank you so much for your support with this important program.

dies with us; what we have done for others
