About RUN/WALK FOR THE RARE!
Haley's Heroes Foundation presents the 7th Annual RUN/Walk FOR THE RARE, a 10k, 5k, and 1-mile run/walk to support International Batten Disease Awareness Day. Did you know that Rare is everywhere? Join us as we run on Sunday, June 14, 2026. 1 in 10 people have a rare disease, and 50% of those are children. There are more than 7,000 known rare diseases, and an estimated 350 million people globally are diagnosed with a rare disease. YET, 95% of all rare diseases don't have an FDA-approved treatment or cure. Let's run (or walk) to change the course of the lives of all those with rare diseases. Post pictures at #RUNWALKFORTHERARE!
