Run 50 by 60 for Perthes

Call Website Contact the organization

Run 50 by 60 for Perthes Perthes disease is a childhood hip disorder caused by a disruption of blood flow to the ball of the femur called the femoral head.

Due to the lack of blood flow, the bone dies and stops growing. Click on Learn More to find out more and donate to the IPSG. My son, Graham, was diagnosed with Perthes in 2001 while living overseas. He was on crutches for 2.5 years, in a brace for 3 months, and had a femoral osteotomy in 2003. At the time I wanted to do more to increase understanding of the disease, but I just didn't have time. Now that my kids are grown and Graham is in Medical School I have time! So, I've decided to run all 50 states before I turn 60 to help the IPSG and Scottish Rite Hospital in Dallas raise money and awareness for the study and treatment of Legg-Calve-Perthes disease.
