KARES 5K YOUR WAY - SEPTEMBER 28-29

Hit the pavement for the 3rd annual KARES 5K for KDM5C!

Why KDM5C?

Genetic loss of KDM5C function is associated with a range of symptoms, which can include intellectual disability, global developmental delays, speech impairment, challenging behavior, autism, epilepsy, and more. KDM5C-related symptoms can have devastating effects on patients and their families. 

Why do the KARES 5K Your Way?

This event can be accomplished anywhere! All are encouraged to gather with friends, family and supporters at your local park, neighborhood, school or other venue to support KDM5C research and families! Run, walk, roll, hop, skip, dance, bike... move however you like to raise awareness and funds!

KARES aims to raise both awareness of KDM5C genetic variants and funds to accelerate research around new targeted treatment options to improve the lives of KDM5C patients. Funds from our virtual 5K will go to the KARES research grant program and programming that directly supports patients and families affected by KDM5C genetic variants.

How can I help?

Participate, donate, fundraise, or share to help us further KARES’ mission to improve lives through KDM5C Advocacy, Research, Education, & Support. Whatever your contribution, it will make a meaningful difference in the lives of affected children and families.

We are now accepting Corporate Sponsorships!

Your business or organization will benefit from positive visibility to event participants across the globe! We anticipate this event being a major success with the support of generous corporate and family sponsors to help us meet our goal.
