I’m the proud father of Arin, a bright, curious, and incredibly resilient little boy who lives with FOXP1 syndrome, a rare genetic condition that affects speech, motor skills, and overall development.

FOXP1 syndrome is a rare and little-known genetic condition that affects communication, motor skills, and development in children. Because it is so rare, information is limited, and many families face a long, confusing road before finding answers. Despite the challenges, children like Arin show us every day what resilience, determination, and joy truly mean.

This 5K run is for him and for every child like him.

It is not just about one family. It is about raising awareness for a condition still unknown to many, supporting vital research, and creating a future where children like Arin receive early support, understanding, and the opportunity to thrive.

Every step I take and every dollar you donate brings us closer to that future.

Please consider supporting this cause by donating, sharing, or running alongside us. Together, we can give Arin and all children with FOXP1 syndrome a stronger voice and a brighter tomorrow.
