👟 Miles for More: Move With Purpose
Oct 12 – Nov 26 | Join our community challenge to raise awareness & funds for families impacted by Friedreich’s Ataxia 💙
Why We’re Moving
This fall, RISE is coming together for something bigger than just steps and miles.
We’re honoring my cousins, Joey & Kaela, who live with Friedreich’s Ataxia (FA). Every mile we log raises awareness and helps fund support for families like theirs. Visit ataxiaconnection.org to learn more!
💙 Every step counts. Every mile matters.
