Start off your Spring with a great event for a great cause. The Put a Spring in Your Step 5K takes place on the first day of spring, March 20th, and on March 21st. You do not want to miss this amazing chance to get active with your friends and family for a virtual run\walk that you can do at whatever location you want! By running\walking in this event you get a free 5k medal and the amazing feeling of making a difference. 

The Put A Spring In Your Step 5K is a wonderful opportunity to get active for the new season and help a wonderful organization! By entering in the 5k you will be supporting the Marfan Foundation, a non-profit organization built to support families who have Marfan Syndrome, raise awareness for this disease, and to give an open community to anyone who has been diagnosed with Marfan Syndrome. All proceeds will be donated to the Marfan Foundation.  You may be wondering, what is Marfan Syndrome? Marfan Syndrome is a genetic disorder that affects the connective tissue in the body. This affects the human's eyes, heart, blood vessels, and skeleton. Because of this, people diagnosed cannot engage in long periods of physical activity preventing them from participating in some sports. It also means that people with Marfan Syndrome often have low visibility since the connective tissue is weak and the bones grow faster and longer than usual. Currently, there is no cure to this syndrome, however the Marfan Foundation is hoping to fix this. I encourage you to think about this issue when you are running.  Help us to spread awareness for for the Marfan Foundation. We hope this event gives you the ability to make a difference and get ready for the spring.  Have fun, good luck and thank you!
