The sixth annual Sophie’s Angel Run, a 5K Memorial Run/Walk/Kid’s Fun Run held in celebration of the life of Sophia Grace Meinhardt will be held on Sunday, September 30, 2012 at 1:00 p.m. in conjunction with St. Jude Parish Oktoberfest in Bridgetown.

Sophie, daughter of Bridgetown residents Mark and Missy Meinhardt, was an active and healthy 18-month-old girl who was diagnosed with an aggressive brain tumor while vacationing with her family at Hilton Head Island in August 2006.  Sophie was airlifted from Savannah Hospital to Cincinnati Children’s Hospital for further diagnosis and treatment; Sophie died three days later during surgery to remove the brain tumor. In the six years since the run’s inception, over $250,000  has been raised and 25 scholarships have been awarded. 

Sophie’s brain tumor was an Atypical Teratoid/Rhabdoid Tumor (AT/RT).  This is a very rare and aggressive brain tumor that grows rapidly within 1-2 months with no known causes or cures.  Sophie’s Angel Run will benefit Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, specifically brain tumor research, as well as Sophie Meinhardt Memorial Scholarship Fund.

Awards will be given to the top male and female runners in 12 age divisions and to the top male and female runners in the stroller division.
