Now in its second year, the award is in honor of a friend of Candace, who went through a bone marrow transplant at the same time. \u201cWes passed away a few years ago,\u201d Crystal Keith said. \u201cWes and Candace had some very special conversations encouraging each other.\u201d The second award is the inaugural Johnny Rowlett Compassion Award. \u201cHe was a neighbor who had a very special bond with Candace,\u201d Crystal Keith said. \u201cHe loved Candace and she loved him. He was a very compassionate fellow.\u201d In addition to covering the cost of the race, Crystal Keith said the proceeds will go to buy food cards for families on the bone marrow transplant unit at Cincinnati Children\u2019s Hosptial.
