Join the National MPS Society at the 5th Annual Long Beach Race for Rare 5K Run & Walk Event hosted by Long Beach locals, Lynn and Scott Hopkins! This event is to raise money and awareness to help change the lives of those living with a rare disease.  10% of Americans suffer from a rare disease and less than 5% have an FDA-approved treatment.  3 out of 10 children with a rare condition do not live to see their 5th birthday, and we work to change this.  Proceeds benefit the National MPS Society.
