Thank you to everyone who joined us on Sunday for the Tampa O2breathe 5K and walk, held in memory of Missy Stok Rizzo. It was a beautiful day of remembrance and action, raising over $20,000 to support the community.

The walk featured an inspiring lineup of speakers who shared stories of hope, resilience and remembrance.

Casey Perez, a local patient with PH, and her family held a yard sale last month to raise money for the event. They raised over $8,000 and used the opportunity to spread awareness about PH.

We are so grateful to everyone who walked, ran and donated. Our next walk is scheduled for Saturday, April 18, in Anderson, South Carolina.
