Clinical trials are in the foreseeable future.  Now - more than ever – each dollar raised gets us one step closer to putting an end to this terrible disease

4.      An all inclusive 5K!

This 5K is for everyone!  Whether you are the most experienced runner, a causal walker or would like to ride your bike or roll in your wheelchair, we welcome everyone who wishes to take part.  For our runners we have a certified course that will be chip timed.  Our walkers can enjoy a leisurely stroll and do as much of the course as they would like.  Furthermore, for those using wheels rest assured you will not be out of place and will have access to the course.  Project Hope is for everyone with the understanding that the entire goal is to raise awareness of the work being done by the Bethanys Hope Foundation and raise funds to support finding a cure for Metachromatic Leukodystrophy (MLD).

5.      Be a part of Something Bigger!
