Dianne Fenton Waters launched the Waves of Gray 5K in honor of her late husband, Fred Fenton, who died less than a year after being diagnosed with glioblastoma, a rare and aggressive brain tumor.
May is Brain Cancer Awareness month -- and tomorrow, thousands will participate in the 5th Waves of Gray 5K walk at Jacksonville Beach.– May is Brain Cancer Awareness month and Saturday, thousands will participate in the 5th annual Waves of Gray 5K walk at Jacksonville Beach. The money raised will go directly to benefit brain cancer research.
“I always described him as the one person in this world that was made just for me,” Waters said fighting back tears. “The manliest man, gentleman, I’ve ever met. He was a tough guy, but a real gentleman.”The two were celebrating their 15th wedding anniversary on a cruise, when Fenton got a terrible headache and spent part of their vacation resting. Over the next several weeks, his condition worsened. She said he became forgetful and unsteady.
“It’s not talked about, it’s not very well known,” Waters said. “Anybody who will listen to me, I talk to them about it, a complete stranger, at the auto shop, it doesn’t matter. I find some way to talk about it.” Something else they’re doing at this year’s event is a sneaker donation drive. People can stop by and drop off new or gently used sneakers.
