Sam and I ( Sarah) are excited to announce that we have signed up as Charity Runners in the AJC Peachtree Road Race to support the Dup15q Alliance! The Alliance's mission is to provide family support and promotes awareness, research and targeted treatments for Dup15q Syndrome.

As you know, our son Bobby has Dup15q syndrome and the Alliance has been huge in educating, supporting, and helping us to make connections with other families that have become our friends!

Dup15q Syndrome is characterized by having an extra copy of a portion of chromosome 15 in the 11.2 – 13.1 region in combination with a number of symptoms that may include, hypotonia, epilepsy, cognitive delay, motor delays, autism, and similar facial features.

“The AJC Peachtree Road Race is about moving Atlanta forward,” said Rich Kenah, the Peachtree’s race director. “As so many organizations struggle to rebound from the pandemic, we are proud to be able to partner with these groups to raise money and awareness for the work they do here in Running City USA.”

We are excited that our group has been dubbed Team Bobby!! Join us in supporting real change. Let’s support good in the world and make a difference!
