Team Mary: 5k Run/Walk for Autism

🏃‍♀️ Event Overview

Team Mary invites you to join us on Sunday, September 14th, for our annual 5K race through the beautiful Gem Beach neighborhood! Mary Lucas is a seventeen year-old girl with autism, but her disability far from defines her. Instead, those close to Mary know a very special girl with an uncanny ability to spread smiles around a room. She inspires us to work toward enriching the lives of children with similar adversities.
