Events

The Waves of Gray – 5K Brain Cancer/Tumor Awareness Walk was created in memory of Fred K. Fenton II. Fred lost his battle with brain cancer (glioblastoma) in November 2016. When he was sick, our family felt extremely helpless as caregivers often do. This walk is our way to unite the Jacksonville brain tumor community, bring awareness to this horrible disease & raise funds for brain cancer/tumor research.

Waves of Gray has continued to support Baptist MD Anderson Cancer Center. Funds raised will benefit our Waves of Gray Neuro-Oncology Endowment supporting research programs through Baptist MD Anderson Cancer Center in Jacksonville, Florida. Thank you for your support and we look forward to seeing you on May 09, 2026!

** Each year we honor & remember loved ones who have lost their battle with brain cancer/tumor by adding their names on the event shirt. If you have lost someone to brain cancer/tumor, you will need to register by April 26th in order to get your loved one's name on the shirt.

There may be an opportunity to purchase event t-shirts (if available) at the event. Quantities and sizes will not be guaranteed.

All sizes up to adult XL will be $25

Adult sizes 2XL & 3XL - $30
