Taylor's Tale: Fighting Batten Disease
Join us at the Charlotte SouthPark Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving morning for the 8K run, 5K walk or 1-mile fun run. Feel less guilty about eating a big meal later that day and help us spread the word about Batten disease. Send an email to laura@taylorstale.com if you plan to run/walk in honor of children like Taylor (who... happens to have two 5Ks to her credit!). Include your t-shirt size in your email - we want everyone to wear a Taylor's Tale t-shirt!
