Those of you that know me, know that I love to run. Many of you also know that my son, Andrew, has Dup15q syndrome. So I am very excited to announce that in addition to running the Chicago Marathon this fall, I have decided to put my love of running to good use and have also signed up as a Charity Runner in the 2023 TCS NYC Marathon to support the Dup15q Alliance.
Their mission is to empower individuals living with dup15q syndrome and other related rare diseases to reach their full potential by advancing breakthrough research and life-changing therapeutic treatments, supporting families affected by dup15q, and promoting advocacy. The alliance has had a big impact, particularly by providing us a large network of other families living with Dup15q.
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.
Beginning in July, my marathon training kicks off its 17 week journey, beginning in Nashville for this year's Dup15Q Family Conference, heading to the Windy City in October, and then ending by taking on 26.2 miles of New York City streets on November 5th, to support families affected by Dup15q Syndrome. Join me in supporting real change. Let’s support good in the world and make a difference.
Just a small donation will go a long way to helping me meet my goal for DUP15Q ALLIANCE
