The St. Louis running community is known for its incredible support, and this year's Festival of Miles is a testament to that spirit. We're honored that Larry Stone has been selected as the 2025 Athlete in Need.
Larry is a familiar face to many of us – an avid runner, a dedicated Track Club member, and a long-time attendee of the Festival of Miles. In July 2024, Larry faced a life-altering challenge when he suffered a severe stroke. Just a few months later, he received a diagnosis of Stage IV metastatic prostate cancer.
Larry's journey has been marked by significant medical expenses and ongoing physical and cognitive hurdles. As a community, we have the opportunity to rally around him and provide much-needed support.
The Festival of Miles is more than just a track meet; it's a charity event where the proceeds from ticket sales directly benefit athletes in need. This year, we're focusing our efforts on raising funds to help Larry navigate his challenges.
Join us at the 2025 Festival of Miles to witness incredible athletic performances and contribute to a worthy cause. Every ticket purchased will make a difference in Larry's life. Let's come together to support one of our own! Read more and find a link to donate below.
