This event is a fundraiser hosted by the Lloyd family (with lots of help from family and good friends!) in memory of Richard Lloyd, who had short but very tough battle with this rare cancer.
  
The 4th annual Slay the Dragon 5k Walk/Run was held on 9/25/10 in Ashland, VA--another hugely successful year!! Thanks to all of our company sponsors, participants, and to those who donated!

All money raised goes to the National LeioMyoSarcoma Foundation to support research in finding a cure for LeioMyoSarcoma.  In the first three years of this event, we sent the foundation roughly $46k to help with researching a cure for this cancer.
