2nd Annual PPP3CA Race for Rare 5k Run/Walk

🏃‍♂️ Event Overview

Please join the PPP3CA Hope Foundation in our 2nd Annual PPP3CA Race for Rare 5k Run/Walk campaign held at Lake Shawnee in Topeka, Kansas! Thanks to your amazing support last year, we raised nearly $15k and funded a research mouse model for PPP3CA. This year, we're aiming even higher, to drive more research, more hope, and more progress for our kids living with this disease.
