  • Race of Joy, Race of Wonder. Jasmine Lellock ran 26.2 miles in the "Race the Rhode" Providence Marathon on May. 7, to honor her mother, Patti, who passed away from an autoimmune disease called neuromyelitis optica (NMO). A well-known advocate in the NMO community, Patti was a runner who had purchased a new pair of running shoes she planned to use to resume training after battling through multiple NMO relapses. Unfortunately, she never got the chance to use her new shoes. Channeling her mother's spirit, Jasmine wore her mother's shoes, gaining a new perspective on what struggle means, mile by mile. Through her support network, Jasmine also raised over $3,000 for NMO research. Read Jasmine's blog post, Race of Joy, Race of Wonder, as she recounts racing in her mother's shoes:
