**Update - we're so thrilled for everyone's support, and are upping our goal to $1,000!***
The Marshfield Clinic is a haven for families and kids with BBS. The Clinic also does research into cures and treatments for the disease, which is super rare - less than 3,000 people have it.
We're participating in the 2020 BBS Walkathon on Oct. 17 & 18 to raise money for the clinic, which is so important to Abbie and other kids and families with BBS.
