Dear Friends, Supporters and Potential Partners,
On Saturday May 9, 2015 we will be hosting the 9th annual Ryan’s Run. Ryan’s Run is a 5K walk/run
through Saratoga State Park, which raises money to fight Malignant Infantile Osteopetrosis (MIOP).
MIOP is a genetic bone disease in which the infant’s bones cannot properly develop and can be fatal. The
current treatments are limited, invasive, and debilitating. We have partnered with Dr. Paul Orchard at the
University of Minnesota who is researching an alternative treatment to cure this disease. In addition to
funding this research, your donations help to assist families enduring the financial burden of current
treatments. Please consider joining our team as we focus on finding a cure.
