A Global Movement for PHELAN-MCDERMID sYNdrome (PMS)

THIS SUMMER, the race begins!

Join our worldwide community uniting to raise $222,013 for breakthrough treatments for PMS.

June - August 2025

RACE FOR RESEARCH 2025 is an all-summer, world-wide effort to raise $222,013 to accelerate research for Phelan-McDermid syndrome through races and challenges of all kinds.

This movement was inspired by Tom Giles, father to Jenson (PMS), who determined to run NINE marathons in NINE days (6/27-7/5) to raise funds for CureSHANK.

Our Global Challengers, across FIVE continents, are each running at least one day in solidarity with Tom’s efforts.

To learn more, register for the kick-off meeting on June 1.

The full landing page is coming VERY soon!
