Very excited to announce that the American 5K Run/Walk will again be held on Memorial Day Weekend, Saturday, May 28. Last year‘s inaugural race was a great success as a benefit for Lt. Dan Berschinski. I got to meet Dan in October 2009 when he was recovering at Walter Reed. I was in DC speaking before Congress about FOP. This year, the proceeds in honor of me, go to the IFOPA.
The International FOP Association (IFOPA) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization supporting medical research, education and communication for those afflicted by the rare genetic condition Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (FOP). Our mission is to eliminate FOP as a health concern through education, advocacy, research and support. April 26, 2006 the FOP gene was discovered. We are now just waiting for the cure! We need your help!
 OUR #1 GOAL - CURE FOP!! |
| Thanks to the Peachtree City Running Club, Carolyn Gulick, the Berschinski's, and everyone else involved to make this event great and successful! |
