Riley's Run for Aortic Health

Description

Riley (a Corona, CA native), is a 14 year old girl who was born with a bicuspid aortic valve which has led to an aortic aneurysm currently.  She is a very active, athletic, intelligent young lady who leads a very normal life but will one day soon require open heart surgery. Riley will be cheering you all on and giving you your Medal when you cross the Finish Line!

This race was put together by her friends and family to raise money for the John Ritter Foundation in hopes of continued research for treatment and awareness.

 

The John Ritter Foundation is an organization which promotes research and awareness into Aortic Aneurysm and Dissection.

Actor, John Ritter, passed away suddenly from an acute Aortic Dissection in 2003.  He was unaware that he had an aortic aneurysm.
