Run for a-RARE-ness and Wiffle for a Cure

Join us on Saturday, May 2nd, 2026, for the 6th Annual Run for A-Rare-Ness and Wiffle for a CURE! It’s a day packed with fun and purpose, featuring food trucks, bounce houses, face painting, yoga, vendors, and so much MORE!

About MPS1-Hurler Syndrome

We are on a mission to find a CURE for MPS1-Hurler Syndrome—a RARE genetic disorder that shortens life expectancy and causes children to suffer from:

• Enlarged organs: Affects various organ systems.
• Obstructive airways: Leads to severe respiratory issues.
• Heart disease: Significant cardiovascular challenges.
• Skeletal deformities: Impacts physical development and mobility.

Why Your Support Matters

We need YOU! All proceeds benefit The Kennedy Ladd Foundation, Inc., a 501(c)3 nonprofit dedicated to providing hope and support to families battling MPS1. Our initiatives include:

• Patient support: Providing iPads, gift cards, and protective gear to MPS1 patients.
• Research funding: Supporting groundbreaking research for cures and better treatments.
• Community building: Creating hope, voices, and movements to eradicate MPS1.

Every Contribution Matters

Every Penny Counts: Pennies turn into dollars, and every contribution—big or small—helps us move closer to a cure. If you can’t give financially, we believe in the power of prayer and the impact of sharing our mission.
