About Fight Like a Dad 5k

When it came to providing for his family, Leo Rondeau never stopped fighting. He took on an assortment of jobs, from peddling flowers on the street to policing the streets of Woonsocket. After Leo was diagnosed with cancer, his family took up the fight for the man who always fought for them.

To benefit fathers battling the disease, the Rondeau's founded the Fight Like a Dad 5K, the proceeds of which pay for everything from medical expenses to ambulatory services. A cash prize awaits the first woman, man, teen, and kid to cross the certified course's finish line, and trophies honor the top-three in the four aforementioned categories. Those interested in supporting the cause without dashing to the finish can also make a donation or purchase a commemorative Fight Like Dad dog tag.
