- Charity C“I feel like I'm carrying the donors on my back when I run .. And so when I'm tired and I'm like 'I can't do this,' I think back to the people who supported me. I'm running for them and running with them because they can't be here.”
- Aubrey R“My cousin, Isabella, passed in 2018 from rhabdomyosarcoma. I joined Team Starlight in the Disney Princess 5K for Isabella since she is my Disney Princess Angel. I always wanted to do something for kids struggling in the hospital and Team Starlight gave me the opportunity.”
- Meghan G“Starlight brings the best kind of distraction to kids! From cute hospital gowns to video games, Starlight has something to offer to make a kid feel normal while going through things that simply aren't normal.”
- Tylyn H“I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at 9, I spent a lot of time in the hospital. The things that made the difference during those stays, were the things that made me smile. Those moments of joy are luckily what I remember now, rather than the fear. I want to help other children have those moments of joy.”
