MPS Run

Do you want to honor a child with MPS or Related Disorders?

Start a Team. Many of our Teams honor a child or children affected with MPS and Related Disorders. Some teams do a simple button with the child/s picture. Other Teams make T-Shirts with a picture or logo for that child. No matter how you build your team, honoring a child and raising awareness is the goal!

Blank donation forms will be available to Teams honoring a child. You can use the blank form to add your team child/s picture!

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact Tami Slawson, Race Director, MPS Society LA Run.

Thank you!

Sponsor A Child For A Cure…

Each year we have families inquiring how can we do more for our children?  How can we make a difference and help raise awareness and funds for MPS and related diseases research?  How can we participate in a Walk/Run event if we are not able to host one ourselves… and cannot attend another?

The Society wants to provide an opportunity for each family and their loved one affected by MPS or related disease to participate in a nearby Walk/Run event… even if they cannot be there in person.  We understand how gratifying it is to help raise funds for research and that each dollar truly adds up! 

Sponsor A Child For A Cure, allows families to participate in a selected Walk/Run event this fall.  On behalf of your affected child, young adult or loved one who has passed on,  a Walk/Run participant will be assigned to run on behalf of your family.  The family, in turn, can raise sponsorship for their loved one before the race begins. 

A photograph of your loved one needs to be emailed or mailed directly to the Society office.  The Society office will provide families with sponsorship forms.  The photographs will be printed and attached to the assigned Walk/Run participant who will run on your families behalf.  At the end of the race, a photo will be taken of the participant and mailed directly to your family along with a Courage Award Medallion.

We encourage your family to participate!  Register, get sponsors and make a donation!  This will be a truly inspiring program & an opportunity for your family to help make in a difference and fight for a cure!
