Day
8 - September 17: Richard Runs for Emilio
What can we say about our little hero that hasn't alrealy been said. Only that if Emilio were here today, he would call his parents the heroes for all they have done for so many families. Richard and Diane turned their tragedy into hope for others. Truly, the heart and soul of ENF is providing support, transportation, and possibly ease some of the many burdens these families face when dealing with life-threathing diseases.
Emilio lost his battle with leukemia at the age of five. Despite his short time here, his legend lives on, in hopes of helping others. The mission is simple, the struggles are often grueling, but in the end if one family is touched by ENF, then we have succeeded in providing HOPE.

On Saturday, September 10, at 8 am, Richard
Nares, Executive Director of the Emilio Nares
Foundation (ENF), began his Run
for Hope to draw attention to Childhood
Cancer Awareness Month.
The goal is to make the public aware of the
numerous programs that ENF provides that
help to ease the burden on families who find
themselves suddenly coping with the effects
of childhood cancer and without the resources
to meet the tremendous and overwhelming demands.
Over an eight day period, Richard
ran over 175 miles (the equivalent
of nearly 7 marathon races) from Los
Angeles Children's Hospital to Rady Children's
Hospital San Diego, with a stop at Orange
County Children's Hospital in between. The
ENF provides programs and services in all
three of these hospitals to families whose
children are undergoing treatment for childhood
cancer.
