The inspiring story of Greco Roman Bouzakis
Greco Roman Bouzakis was just five years old when he faced one of life’s greatest battles: a diagnosis of diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG). With courage beyond his years, he lived more than three years beyond his prognosis, leaving an indelible mark on his family, the wrestling community, and everyone who knew his story.
His father, Troy Bouzakis—CEO of CNSA—has carried that experience into his life’s work, fueling his passion to improve care and research for patients with brain tumors. Greco’s older brothers, Nic and Vince, and sister Jaclyn, each honor him in their own way through wrestling, carrying his memory onto the mat. Team Greco, a youth wrestling program formed in his name, continues to compete and inspire others to this day.
Greco’s story is one of courage, love, and enduring impact. His legacy lives on in this race, in the mission of CNSA, and in every runner who finds strength in his memory as they climb Greco Hill.
