Columbus Run, Walk, and Roll 5K Event

The National MPS Society will host a timed 5K run & walk event, beginning at 9 AM on Saturday, September 13.  This event is to raise money and awareness to help change the lives of those living with a rare disease.  10% of Americans suffer from a rare disease and less than 5% have an FDA-approved treatment.  3 out of 10 children with a rare condition do not live to see their 5th birthday, and we work to change this. Proceeds benefit the National MPS Society.
