Laps for Lexi

Share

Lexi was a beautiful 8-year-old with an infectious smile and a twinkle in her eye. Lexi showed her zest for life - and speed - every time she rode her purple bike. Lexi was a wonderful daughter, little sister, and friend who thoroughly enjoyed life and who was taken from us much too soon. Come honor Lexi’s legacy and help us raise money to fight childhood cancer! Lexi's parents have organized Laps for Lexi, a 5K walk/run to help benefit the Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders at the Children's National Medical Center in Washington, DC. Join us on Saturday, September 26, 2020, for the 11th Annual Laps for Lexi event!

This July, Richard "Poppop" Purkiss passed away from cancer. He was Lexi's grandfather and was deeply loved by his family. Richard was one of Laps for Lexi's biggest supporters and donors year after year. He was most known for popping L4L balloons at 4am on the morning of race day or cooking burgers and hot dogs on the grill with a friendly smile. This year we are honoring him by naming the grill, "Purk's Grill." He will be greatly missed this year, as he truly loved Laps for Lexi and his granddaughter. We miss you Purk!💜
