The course

From the organizer

On June 17th, 2018, Our Lord, who art in Heaven, received the greatest Father’s Day gift of all time. This world lost a best friend, co-pilot, treasure hunter, adventurer, partner-in-crime, artist,  hero, cancer-fighter and all around rock-star kid. Christian James Albain, 10, of Toledo, OH,  passed away in the arms of his loving parents after a valiant battle with leukemia at Nationwide  Children’s Hospital, Columbus, OH.  He was born August 23, 2007 in Toledo, OH to Christopher Albain and Brittney Styer. Christian  came into this world with a natural kindness and the ability to make friends with everyone he met. He loved his family, above all else, and will always be idolized by his siblings, cousins and numerous other family and friends. Christian’s superpower was having a heart big enough to fit everyone he knew. Christian will always be our "Little Hero" and this annual memorial event will be held to forever honor Christian's life.
