  • All made a difference

    A group of men came out today to make a difference. Some walked some ran but all impacted Galactosemia! 2.28 is rare disease day and thus is why GLOW started years prior on the first weekend in March. I appreciate this group so much for support. If you were not able to post I will get you your runner bag this week.

    Glow 5K!!
