A Grace Filled Journey 5K run and one mile walk on Saturday raised over $23,000 to benefit research into INAD. Infantile Neuroaxonal Dystrophy or INAD is a rare genetic disorder that four-year-old Grace Herschelman has. The 5K on Saturday in Hillsboro was just one of many events that has taken place in the area to raise funds since Grace was diagnosed with INAD last November. According to Grace's mother, Mary Herschelman, over 750 runners participated in the fun run in Hillsboro or "virtually" including people from 22 states and five countries outside the U.S.
Mary says another weekend event for them included celebrating Grace's fourth birthday. More on the 5K can be found on A Grace Filled Journey blog: A Grace Filled Journey 5K
