Community members of Baldwin and the family of Tyler McKenzie joined together at Baldwin Harbor Park to commemorate his legacy at the second annual T-Mac’s 5K Run and Memorial Walk on April 6th.
Led by Tyler’s parents, Marc and Zea McKenzie, the event served as a poignant celebration of their son’s life while also raising vital awareness for cancer research. The Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston was the chosen beneficiary for the event.
Tyler’s journey began when he was diagnosed with a rare form of kidney cancer, translocation renal cell carcinoma, at the age of 22 in 2016. Tragically, he passed away on August 12, 2022, at the age of 28.
