About the Event |
The event will be held the morning of April 12, 2014 at Frisco Square in Frisco, TX. We kick the morning off with a 1-Mile Family Fun Run at 8 a.m. followed by a Racing Systems timed 5K Run/Walk at 8:30 a.m. There is plenty of entertainment with music and a CBS 11 Emcee with Awards, Prizes, Face Painting, Hula Hoop contest, and more! A Raffle will be held on-site, so bring cash for a chance to win some terrific prizes. Visit www.dandywalkertexas.org for further details.
Funding has helped support DNA research at a leading children's hospital as well as a national research institute. This has increased our understanding of the causes of the birth defect Dandy-Walker Syndrome, improved diagnosis, and may lead to new therapeutic options, but much research remains. More to come in the years ahead! With your help, we can keep moving forward!!
Benefitting |
In honor of all those affected with Dandy-Walker Syndrome and those that have lost their lives due to DWS, Abby's Run for Dandy-Walker Syndrome benefits the Dandy-Walker Alliance 501(c)(3). This is a non-profit managed event, and DWA is a volunteer-run 501(c)(3), so the proceeds go straight to DWA programs.
Dandy-Walker Syndrome is a congenital brain defect affecting 1 in 2,500 live births. The Dandy-Walker Alliance, Inc. is a recognized not-for-profit organization. In giving to the DWA, you help us continue our commitment to providing educational and informational activities, programs and publications and supporting non-partisan research and events to increase public awareness for Dandy-Walker Syndrome. We support all efforts to determine the cause(s) of, find the cure for and to ameliorate the effects of Dandy-Walker Syndrome.
