UpperEdge is proud to be championing a meaningful initiative by participating in the 8,000 Steps for 8p Heroes Walk on Tuesday, July 29th to raise awareness and support for 8p disorders.
The 8,000 Steps for 8p Heroes event supports the Project 8p Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to accelerating research and improving the lives of individuals affected by rare chromosome 8p neurodevelopmental disorders.
UpperEdge will be hosting a walk to complete 8,000 steps around Boston and raise for this meaningful cause. This is a powerful opportunity to unite as a community and take steps towards progress, awareness, and hope for those living with 8p.
UpperEdge is walking in support of our very own little hero, Olivia. Olivia was born with Chromosome 8p, which is a rare genetic condition with approximately 550 children around the world and counting. To support Olivia and others living with 8p around the world, we invite you to contribute through the link on this page. We also invite you join us in the walk and help to take meaningful steps forward.
