The Honors College Student Programming Council (SPC) would like to cordially invite you to our Fall event "Terp Trot: 5K for DNA" on Sunday, November 18th to raise awareness for genetic diseases and support Genetic Alliance, an organization involved with genetic disorders and health advocacy. Supporting the efforts of Genetic Alliance, who is at the forefront of health advocacy in the 21st century, allows us to start getting involved with today's issues and tomorrow's solutions. Our DNA may vary from person to person, but our will and desire to help and lend our voices to others remains the same. And with Thanksgiving being prime time for community outreach, SPC wanted to harness the unstoppable Terp spirit towards a good cause while also bringing members of our community together. SPC ultimately hopes that the UMD community finishes the 5K for DNA with a heightened awareness of genetic disorders as well as a heightened campus unity. The event details are as follows: ***WHEN*** 1) Regular Registration ($10): until Friday 11/16 2) Late Registration ($15): on the day of the 5K, 11/18 3) 5K for DNA on Sunday, 11/18: Runners may start signing in at Anne Arundel, starting at 8:30AM up until 9:30AM.
