About the Event
Let's get walking or running or riding starting 6/6/26-6/14/26 to raise awareness and funds for 22q. This virtual event will kick-off on Saturday, June 6 in your community, on your treadmill, or wherever you exercise. Whether you sign up to run, walk, or bike, let's get moving and feel united throughout the week. Be sure to share your photos on social media and tag us @22qfamily and use the #run22for22q. We will also be offering an in-person event again in Erie, CO with the hopes of eventually expanding to more locations in the future.
