Remission Run, Inc. is a 501(c)3 charitable organization.

REMISSION RUN began as a way to celebrate non-Hodgkin lymphoma survivor Bill Crews' 5 year anniversary of remission. He discovered he was in remission at the end of January 2004, but because his disease is currently "incurable" he had to continue more than two years of treatments. Following those treatments, Bill returns regularly to MD Anderson Cancer Center for check ups with his lymphoma doctor, Rick Hagemeister. Bill is a marathoner and triathlete. He is a USAT certified coach and Ironman finisher as well. He credits the strength of his faith, his family and his doctor with his survival.

Bill has been featured in Runner's World, Triathlete Magazine and many other magazines and newspapers. He has appeared many times on television and radio to tell his story in hopes that it will inspire people to fight their cancer and go on to live a full, purposeful life. Dr. Hagemeister has become a great friend, encouraging Bill's active lifestyle even during cancer treatments.

100% of the proceeds of The Bill Crews Remission Run are donated to the Hagemeister Research Fund. Through this fund, the lymphoma tissue bank was established to provide tumor data to researchers at MD anderson and outside institutions as well. Researchers use this data to develop better therapies which will lead to the cure for blood cancers and the other cancers as well. Your participation in this race is a way for you to use your healthy body to aid the cause of eliminating cancer.

The 3rd annual bill crews remission run’s theme is CHAMPIONS, a way for us to honor the many people who are dedicated to winning the war against cancer- the patients, the caregivers (doctors, nurses, family & friends), the researchers and those who fund the research. What about you? Are you ready to join our cause and become a CHAMPION FOR THE CURE?
