Taylor’s Finish Line Festival is a celebratory event in honor of five-year-old, Taylor Gibbs, who was diagnosed with leukemia at the age of two.  Taylor is currently in remission and will complete his treatment in April.  “We hope you can help us wrap up our experience, tie a pretty bow on it, and offer it back as a gift to the community we have grown to love,” said JD and Melissa Gibbs, parents of Taylor.
