HOKA Festival of Miles

The 2024 Festival of Miles Athlete in Need is Jack Higgins. Jack is a junior at Vianney High School in St. Louis and has been battling bone cancer since 2021. The cancer has spread to his lungs, and Jack is undergoing extensive chemotherapy. Jack played numerous sports including soccer, baseball and his favorites – basketball and volleyball – prior to his cancer diagnosis, but has been limited due to his health circumstances. He has however, found a new sport – bowling! Jack is currently on the bowling team at his high school. With a challenging journey ahead, Festival of Miles Foundation is happy to support not only Jack, but his family in this time of need. Jack’s siblings, Molly (age 19), Macy (14), and Colin (10) have also been impacted by this diagnosis. This disease not only affects Jack, but it affects the lives of the people who take care of him and love him as well. Jack’s mom, Michelle, is humbled that Jack will be the beneficiary of Festival of Miles this year. She says “Thank you for welcoming him into your hearts.”
