A chilly morning didn’t stop participants to run and walk for SMA
On Sunday, February 28, 2010, the South Florida Chapter held their 1st Annual Families of SMA 5K Run, Walk ‘N Roll, dedicated to Daniel Cevallos who passed away this past year after losing his battle with SMA. The event was a great success raising $15,117 and hosting 250 friends and family throughout the South Florida community. The walk-n-roll was held at View Vista Park in Davie, FL which has a universal access playground named Caitlyn’s Corral, in memory of Caitlyn Munson who died of SMA Type 1 and is dedicated to all children who play there.
The pathway was lined with pictures of local SMA kids and facts about the disease, so everyone was able to learn more about those affected in their local area. Families were also able to enjoy great activities such as bounce houses, face painting, nail art, free smoothies courtesy of Smoothie King, a silent auction, raffle and grilled hamburgers and hot dogs. Thanks so much to everyone that participated and donated to their event.
