Race for Rylie in PA–11K!
On June 22nd, over 200 participants showed their support for Pitt Hopkins Syndrome at the 4th annual Race for Rylie event held at Nockamixon State Park in Pennsylvania.
The three main events included a 5K, a 1 mile kid fun run, and a non-competitive walk all happening along Lake Nockamixon with beautiful views of the marina. Participants enjoyed music by DJ Reilly, a raffle, games, and glitter tattoos. In addition to Rylie’s family, two other PTHS families were in attendance including Emma and Anthony’s families from New Jersey. Highlights of the day included Rylie’s dad, Jack, pushing her in his first ever 5K, Rylie’s 2 year old little sister, Lily, running in the kid run, Emma riding her adapted trike and Anthony taking his own strides for independence in the noncompetiive walk. This year Race for Rylie raised $11,320.00 for the Pitt Hopkins Syndrome Research Foundation. Rylie and family would like to thank the volunteers, sponsors, and participants for their continued support of this amazing cause!
