Los Angeles-area families and friends took to the streets of Manhattan Beach this past Saturday in honor of children with CdLS – and of one young man in particular, local resident Mikey Gonella, who passed away three years ago.
His parents, Julie and Roy, put together a team of runner and walkers for the Manhattan Beach 10K. It was their way of giving back to the Foundation for the support it provided to the family for 18 years. And give back they did: the team raised more than $35,000. Way to go!
