Kesem is excited to be a participating charity with runDisney® for the 2024-25 race season. At Kesem, we are committed to creating a world where every child who has a parent with a cancer diagnosis or has lost a parent to cancer is never alone. We support these children through and beyond their parent’s cancer with free, fun-filled creative programs and a lasting community. Kesem is incredibly grateful to our generous Team Kesem fundraisers, who join us for endurance events around the country, and make it possible for us to serve more kids.
