Mississippi State University’s Montgomery Leadership Program, with support from the Army ROTC Bulldog Battalion, is holding a 5K run in memory of local child Gabe Valentine, who died last year from a rare genetic tissue disorder known as Epidermolysis Bullosa, or EB. The disorder causes blisters and open wounds. Valentine was the son of Michael and Nell Valentine, MSU faculty and staff members. He was an avid MSU sports fan and became an honorary member of MSU’s Army ROTC program. Proceeds from the race will go to the EB Research Partnership to benefit research and development for a cure. Organizers are asking participants to register by Friday [March 23] in order to receive a T-shirt, but registration will continue until race day. The registration fee is $20, with a discounted rate for groups of 10 or more. Click the "Link" below to register.
