Run for the Rose

Six participants stand together outdoors after the Run for the Rose event, smiling and posing in a park-like setting with trees and a paved walkway. Most wear matching light blue “Run for the Rose” T-shirts and race bibs, while one participant in black athletic wear and another in a gray T-shirt also display bib numbers. The group appears relaxed and celebratory, with greenery and buildings visible in the background.

UTHealth Houston Neurosciences served as a sponsor of the 22nd annual Run for the Rose 5K and Family 1K at TMC Helix Park, supporting brain tumor research and awareness.

This meaningful event honors the legacy of Dr. Marnie Rose, former resident in the Department of Pediatrics, whose courage continues to inspire a community dedicated to improving care for patients and families affected by brain cancer. With participation from our UTHealth Houston Neurosciences and McGovern Medical School teams, along with many others, Run for the Rose helps fund groundbreaking research in the fight against brain tumors.
