We’re excited to have 44 members of TeamPWCF 2016, including 3 people with Prader-Willi syndrome, participating in the jetBlue Long Beach Marathon races this weekend. TeamPWCF will be raising awareness for Prader-Willi syndrome and Prader-Willi California Foundation as they race through Long Beach with their team shirts while sporting PWCF logo temporary tattoos.

Additionally PWCF will have a booth at the Expo where thousands of race participants will pass through, and a booth at the Finish Line Festival on Sunday visible to all runners and observers.  PWCF representatives will spread awareness and answer questions to all those who stop by the booths.

Please consider a donation to support TeamPWCF 2016! Select the TeamPWCF campaign and make your donation in honor of a particular team member, or leave the “in honor of” space blank to support the whole team!

Thank you to all of our TeamPWCF participants!
