We are so thankful to Maria Punzo, who recently completed the Queens Half Marathon in honor of her nephew, John Welsh. Maria took the race as an opportunity to raise funds and awareness for PMSF. She created a PMSF Celebrate Page and raised over $2,600!

Maria stated, “John faces challenges every day but his ability to overcome them is amazing! John is a sweet, funny, loving boy. To know him is to love him. 💚 It is my hope that through any money raised more research can be done to help learn more and help anyone affected by Phelan-McDermid syndrome. I ran this race for John 💚 and all affected by this syndrome.”

Thank you so much to Maria and her supporters!

If you are interested in creating a PMSF Celebrate page to fundraise in honor of a birthday, anniversary, sporting event, etc. please visit: https://secure.qgiv.com/event/celebratepmsf/ or email jen@pmsf.org for more details.
