Taylor was born with a rare syndrome called Cri du Chat syndrome. We got her diagnosis when she was just 9 days old. We were told she would never walk, talk or live to be a teenager. She is walking, talking and she is a healthy 19 year old. The money raised will go to the 5p- Society. The 5p- Society is the national support group for families that have a child with Cri du Chat or 5p- syndrome. For more information about the syndrome, check out the website at www.fivepminus.org

About Virtual 5k for 5p-
Each year in the United States, approximately 50 to 60 children are born with 5p- Syndrome (five p minus), also known as Cat Cry Syndrome or Cri du Chat Syndrome. 5p- Syndrome is characterized at birth by a high pitched cry, low birth weight, poor muscle tone, microcephaly, and potential medical complications. "5p-" is a term used by geneticists to describe a portion of chromosome number five that is missing in these individuals. 5p deletion is a spectrum disorder. 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! The 5p- Society is a recognized 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization.
