Benjamin Jones is running the most important race of his life. On April 28th, Jones will leave from Grantsburg, Wisconsin, and run more than 384 miles to the tip of Door County, Wisconsin, for his sister-in-law, Olivia LeClair-Jones.

In September, LeClair-Jones was diagnosed with a cranial cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak. Imaging revealed a weakened area in her skull, with a hole extending through her brain lining, skull and nasal tissue.

LeClair-Jones had a successful surgery on Nov. 26, 2024, to repair the cranial CSF leak by repairing the hole in her nasal passage, brain lining and skull base. She had a subsequent surgery to install a medical device to regulate the amount of CSF inside of her head because her body produces too much of the fluid.

Currently uninsured, LeClair-Jones has already missed numerous workdays, and medical bills have rapidly accumulated. Her family is seeking support from friends, family and the community to help with her recovery and medical bills.
