Aaron Redd Foundation Virtual Run for A-Aron

Virtual Event

Thu 6th July 2023 - Fri 6th October 2023

3 races

Organiser's Description

Aaron Redd’s family and friends established the Aaron Redd Foundation, a 501C3 charity, to honor Aaron and his mission to serve. We are hosting this Virtual Walk/Run to promote awareness of the Sickle Cell Trait (SCT) and to advance the Foundation’s focus on educating and bringing awareness to our youth, young adults and athletes.
SCT affects 1 to 3 million Americans and more than 100 million people worldwide.  Individuals with SCT carry one defective gene and can typically live normal, active lives.  Aaron was an athlete and was training with the US Coast Guard when his body shut down from this disease.  With proper education and awareness, those with SCT can continue to live active lifestyles. 
To read more about Aaron and his life and legacy visit our website, Aaron Redd Foundation.
We chose the mile markers to celebrate Aaron as we walk/run and we are beginning on July 6 to honor his final day on this Earth.
