Meet Cristina

Cristina Scharrer is a loving wife, daughter, sister, a mother of three, a skilled Pharmacist, and an all around beautiful person. On 5/10/24, Cristina underwent an emergency Craniotomy to remove a brain tumor, which was later diagnosed as Glioblastoma. She has faced this news with a positive attitude, assuring her children that her spirit is filled with courage, and that she is ready for a fight.

As a two-time survivor of cancer, Cristina is well prepared for the road ahead of her. Each of those times, she has been cheered on by her family, and has found strength in her faith and her community. The purpose of this event is to find friends, loved ones, and strangers who will cheer her along as well. Throughout her life, Cristina has given of herself in time, money, and spirit and is responsible for countless precious memories. We are now asking all willing to join us in giving back to a worthy cause, and to celebrate our favorite Spiky Haired Lady with us. 100% of donations raised from the Spiky Haired Lady 5K will go towards Glioblastoma research in honor of Cristina aimed at improving treatments, survivability, and quality of life for patients like her.
