This year, on October 10th, Kanani Advisory Group is running in honor of Joshua Torres, a friend of our team member, Cassie Lomen, whose strength and spirit left a lasting impact on everyone who knew him.
Josh passed away last year after a long and courageous fight with Ewing Sarcoma. He battled for years, beat it once, and when it returned, he faced it again with the same grit, humor, and heart that defined him. Even in the hardest moments, Josh made it his mission to protect the people around him, if tears started, he’d jump in with a joke or a story to brighten the room. That blend of humor and compassion was simply who he was.
Josh worked for United Airlines, a job that let him see the world. He explored new places, met new people, and collected experiences he carried with him everywhere he went. Travel wasn’t just something he did, it was part of his joy, his curiosity, and his way of embracing life fully. And no matter where he was, one thing never changed: his love for the Dodgers. Last year, he even got to watch the Dodgers in the World Series, a moment that meant the world to him.
Josh’s journey reminds us why this mission matters. We run for him, for the families still fighting, and for the research that gives people more time, more chances, and more tomorrows.
If Josh’s story moves you, we would be grateful for your support. Every step, every dollar, and every voice helps keep hope alive for the next family facing the unimaginable.
