Our story
Ana was four and a half when she passed away from DIPG, a rare pediatric brain tumor that affects only about 300 children in the United States each year. She met the world with joy — every day, through everything.
The Ana Molnar Foundation was born from that love. We exist to give families tangible help in their hardest moments — meals, gas cards, medical costs — alongside emotional support and community.
Each year we choose children to walk beside, and we invite our neighbors, runners, and friends to walk with us.
Looking back
