Organiser's Description
The National MPS Society will host a timed 5K run & 1 Mile walk event, beginning at 8:45 AM on Saturday, August 1. This event is to raise money and awareness to help change the lives of those living with a rare disease. 10% of Americans suffer from a rare disease and less than 5% have an FDA-approved treatment. 3 out of 10 children with a rare condition do not live to see their 5th birthday, and we work to change this. Proceeds benefit the National MPS Society.
