About the 17th Annual FARA 5K
This race is a fundraiser for Friedreich's Ataxia research, run in memory of Matt DiIorio and in honor of Grace. It is organized by a group of families who lost someone to the disease, and the purpose sits close to the surface all morning. The atmosphere reflects that, quiet purpose more than competition.
