50K RUN IN CHICAGO, TAMPA OR VIRTUALLY FOR LANDAU-KLEFFNER SYNDROME

Braden Peiffer

There will be no formal aid stations, no crowds cheering. This race is in honor of an eight year old boy, Braden Peiffer, who has the burden of living with this disease with no cure in sight. Braden has a little known disease called Landau-Kleffner Syndrome (a pediatric neurological disease that affects language in children).
