Race for Rett 5K and Fun Run

Race for Rett 5K and Fun Run

Join us at Ben Geren Park for a special 5K and Fun Run benefiting Emma, a young girl living with Rett syndrome—a rare neurological disorder that affects about 1 in 10,000 individuals and hinders physical and cognitive development. Despite the daily challenges she faces, Emma’s strength and sweet spirit inspire everyone around her. This event aims to raise funds to help her family purchase a wheelchair-accessible van, offering Emma greater mobility and independence. The event features a timed 5K for competitive runners and a relaxed fun run for families and participants of all ages. Whether you choose to run, walk, or roll, everyone is welcome to show their support. Enjoy music, refreshments, and opportunities to learn more about Rett syndrome and Emma’s journey. Every step taken at Ben Geren Park brings Emma closer to the van she needs—and a better quality of life.
