In our community the Walk/Run will be held at the Post Office Café in celebration of Mark and Casey Lessing. In 2010, Mark lost his 20 year battle with the disorder MPS3A. His sister Casey passed away July 2016 at the age of 24. MPS and related diseases are genetic disorders that affect major organs in the body, including the respiratory system, heart, bones and nervous system. Affecting mostly children, it is caused by the body’s inability to produce certain enzymes. There are hundreds of children around the country waiting for a treatment and eventually a cure for these rare, progressive and deadly diseases.
