Pound the Pavement for Peter is a 5K Family Fun Run around the Brookhaven Neighborhood. It was started in 2009 in honor of Peter Hopkins, who, suffering from a Peroxisomal Disorder (PBD), lived his life with many disabilities, and eventually lost his life at age 3. This is event is held to raise awareness and funds to help families and children with disabilities and debilitating diseases.
Pound the Pavement and Peter’s proceeds this year will be donated to fund 3 critical aspects to realizing potential for these children, and inspiring hope for their families – Disease Research, Medical Care and Inclusion in Education. We cannot think of a better way to honor Peter’s memory and similarly-affected children than supporting these charities which work to enhance the lives of children and families living with severe disabilities.
