The 2008 Connor's Fun Run has been cancelled for this year - we just ran out of time! Please keep an eye out for the 2009 Fun Run next year.

Connor just turned 6, is doing great, and thanks everyone for their continued interest in the Fun Run. Again, please check back soon for info on the 2009 Fun Run.

Though virtually unknown to the general public, Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) is a relatively common genetic children's disease, as one in 40 are carriers. SMA type I is the leading genetic killer of infants and toddlers. Although the disease robs the child of the ability to sit, walk, swallow and breath, the mind is NOT affected.  Of the 200 known genetic diseases, researchers rank the prospects of finding a cure for SMA near the top of the list.		Been a while since you put on the running shoes or you just can't make it on the 7th? You can still help fight SMA by making a tax-deductible donation to Marshalls Miles. Make a donation > Marshall's Miles is a 501(c)3 organization dedicated to providing a focus of local assistance and support to the victims and families of Spinal Muscular Atrophy in the greater Massachusetts/New England area.  We are also proud to help ongoing research projects for Spinal Muscular Atrophy by donating a portion of the funds toward research for a cure.
Connor's Fun Run is associated with Marshall's Miles , a local MA-based non-profit organization which contributes to family support and research for finding a cure for SMA.
