RUN/WALK FOR THE RARE! Race Information

<p>Haley&#39;s Heroes Foundation presents the 8th Annual RUN/Walk FOR THE RARE, a 10k, 5k, and 1-mile run/walk to support International Batten Disease Awareness Day.  Did you know that Rare is everywhere? Join us as we run on Sunday, June 13, 2027. 1 in 10 people have a rare disease, and 50% of those are children. There are more than 7,000 known rare diseases, and an estimated 350 million people globally are diagnosed with a rare disease. YET, 95% of all rare diseases don&#39;t have an FDA-approved treatment or cure. Let&#39;s run (or walk) to change the course of the lives of all those with rare diseases.
