Run for A-Rare-Ness & Wiffle for a Cure

🏃‍♂️ Event Overview

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!

🌟 Cause Behind the Race

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, obstructive airways, heart disease, lifelong pain, skeletal deformities, and more.

🤝 How You Can Help

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:

• Support: Providing an iPad, gift card, screen protector, and case to MPS1 patients.
• Research: Funding groundbreaking research to find a cure and improve treatment options for MPS1.
• Community: Creating hope, community, voices, and a movement to eradicate MPS1.

💰 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.

🏅 Participate Anytime

Can’t attend in person? Sign up as a virtual/ghost runner and we’ll mail you a commemorative shirt.
