We're honored to share this Team Highlight from UMDF Energy For Life Walk/Run St. Louis. Team members of GavinZ Gifts take every step in memory of Gavin. Energy for Life has become a cherished tradition. Gavin was diagnosed with Leigh disease at 4 months old. He was a sweet, loving baby whose life was cut short by this devastating illness. Gavin's mom shared, "We walk to raise awareness, build community, and support continued research that brings hope to all families affected by mitochondrial disease. Walking together reminds us that we're not alone and that every step we take is part of something greater." Be a part of something greater. Join us at an #EnergyforLife event near you: energyforlifewalk.org #mito #mitochondrialdisease #LeighSyndrome #ForGavinZGifts [Visual description: The animation on a dark navy background includes a collage of team photographs of GavinZ Gifts at the Energy for Life Walk/Run in St. Louis. Their team shirts are purple with gold print and feature a gold crown. This quote is shared: “The outpouring of love and support from our friends and family through Team GavinZ Gifts lifts us every year.” The Energy for Life Walk/Run and Walkathon logos in teal, orange, and gold are featured with the text “To our Walk Teams, Thank You” energyforlifewalk.org] (fb)
