The Blazin’ Battle Against Brain Cancer

The Blazin’ Battle Against Brain Cancer race honors firefighter Jim Varin and supports the RI Brain & Spine Tumor Foundation. Jim, who served Providence for 31 years, was diagnosed with Glioblastoma, a rare and aggressive brain cancer. Before his passing, Jim aimed to aid others battling similar conditions. This event continues his legacy by financially and spiritually supporting both patients and research initiatives. Participants of all age groups are encouraged and awarded, and proceeds directly aid those affected by brain or spine tumors. The Varin Family expresses their deep gratitude for your participation in making a difference.
