From the Organizer
The 3rd Annual Strides for Strength 5K and Fun Run will be held at McDonogh School with all proceeds benefiting Giving Strength Inc and our mission to fund research grants and build awareness for the rare congenital muscular dystrophy, SELENON Related Myopathy. This rare disease mainly impacts neck and core muscle weakness, causing rigid spine, scoliosis and reduced respiratory function. Every dollar raised is so impactful for those navigating SELENON and will go directly to the top researchers in the world. Let’s get those strides in and build strength for those suffering!
