Description
 - The Angels for Adyson 5K is a race to support Adyson Harrah and his family. Adyson is a senior at Hillgrove High School in Powder Springs, GA. In June he was hospitalized with Severe Aplastic Anemia, a very rare condition in which the body stops producing enough new blood cells. There are fewer than 20,000 US cases per year. The only cure for this disease is a bone marrow transplant and chemotherapy. As Adyson underwent treatment he contracted a fungal infection due to a compromised immune system. As a result of the infection Adyson was faced with the difficulty of losing his left eye in order to prevent the infection from spreading to his brain. After battling the brunt of the fungal infection and the loss of his eye, Adyson subsequently contracted an infection in his lungs that was to presumably setback his recovery even further. However, Adsyon was able to fight this infection as well.
