A MESSAGE FROM Carly Gianotti
The inspiration behind this fundraiser comes from a 3 month old boy who became a part of my life this year and was born with Spina Bifida. I am a full time nanny to him and his brother and have witnessed his light and strength shine to all who meet him. Affecting less than 1% of families, Spina Bifida is a very rare disability that lacks awareness and knowledge. My hope is to raise as much as possible to give to individuals and families who are affected by this disability and use it as an opportunity to educate the community and support other families affected by Spina Bifida. These 13.1 miles of running are dedicated to every child born with Spina Bifida who might not ever get the chance to run themselves. I so appreciate your care and consideration in making a donation to a brighter future for Spina Bifida.
Your donation supports clinical care, education, advocacy and programs benefitting the Spina Bifida community in New York State. See below for how your gift makes a difference!
