Mia Fine, my youngest daughter, was diagnosed at 6 months old with 5p- Syndrome (otherwise known as Cri du Chat Syndrome). I have been wanting to do some sort of fundraiser/awareness event for quite awhile now. The 5p- Society has created a Virtual 5k for 5p-.
I am so excited for the opportunity to raise funds for the society and bring awareness to 5p- syndrome.
The 2015 Virtual 5k for 5p- was created as an awareness event and fundraiser for the 5p- Society.
Founded in 1986, the 5p- Society's mission is to encourage and facilitate communication among families having a child with 5p- Syndrome and also to spread awareness and education of the syndrome to these families and their service providers.
As the society continues to forge a path ahead for the awareness, advocacy, and support of our families with Cri Du Chat, we continue to need financial support. The financial support that the society gains will allow more families to be touched positively as our loved ones grow and develop. Your support and participation in the Virtual 5k for 5p- is appreciated!
Thank you,
Michelle
