Team Spencer Fun Run

What is Team Spencer?  Our goal is to raise money for the Spencer Meyer Benefit Fund for the Meyer family to go towards medical expenses.  Runners in the Fifth Third River Bank races (any race) will wear orange Team Spencer shirts & collect donations from individuals and businesses. 

Spencer Meyer is a 7 year old from Hudsonville who was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in 2010.  He overcame many obstacles and was doing well.  As far as the family knew, Spencer was on the path of remission.  In February of 2012, after a year and a half in remission, Spencer relapsed and the cancer was found in his spine.  In March 2012 Spencer started an intense three year chemotherapy regiment.  Current road blocks in his treatment have included pancreatitis, brain swelling, epilepsy, and intense emotional issues.  

Spencer enjoys puzzles and is a big Star Wars fan.  He has an older sister Mikayla, who attends Georgetown Elementary, 9, younger brother Vincent 5, who attends Bauer Elementary, younger sister Tiffany 3, and a baby sister Quinnly.  Spencer’s parents, Jason & Jodi, are both teachers at Hudsonville High School.

If you would like to know more about Spencer’s journey, you can follow him on carepages.com.  His ID is one word:  spencermeyer

I am looking for kids and adults who are interested in joining Team Spencer for the junior run, 5k, 10k, or 25k. The 5/3 junior run will take place at the old Roger’s High School on May 8, starting at 5:30pm.  The 5/3 Riverbank 5k, 10k, and 25K will take place downtown on May 11 with the 5k starting at 7:20 am.  We will be collecting donations again, selling orange Team Spencer 2013 t-shirts and Team Spencer wristbands.  Proceeds will go to the Spencer Meyer Benefit Fund.  If interested, please contact Michele Sytsma at cmsytsma@sbcglobal.net616-662-2858, or find Team Spencer on facebook and ask to join.
