Run/Walk with Team Julia’s Wings
Sherman, CT – Team Julia’s Wings is making big strides and growing weekly as it plans to participate in the Kent Pumpkin Run on October 30, 2016. Festivities begin with a kid’s Fun Run at 11:15am followed by a 5 mile run/walk at Noon. The USATF certified course begins at Kent Town Hall with live music, refreshments, and more.
Team members will receive both the Kent Pumpkin Run T-shirt and Team Julia’s Wings jersey to wear at the event. “We are so grateful to our sponsor, CALM & Co, who will once again provide restorative massages to our participants after the race” added Mike Malsin.
Julia’s Wings Foundation (JWF) was founded by the Malsin Family after they lost their daughter Julia, and big sister to Alyssa, after a year long battle against aplastic anemia, which is a rare bone marrow failure disease. Julia was only 13 years old.
JWF is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with the mission of honoring Julia Malsin by providing assistance to families of children with life threatening hematological diseases such as aplastic anemia, MDS and PNH, raising awareness of these diseases, and funding medical research.
