KaleRunning is pleased to announce 5p- Society is back as the charity for the 2008 Chesapeake Bay 10k & Children's Run. About 5P- SYNDROME Each
year in the United States, approximately 50 to 60 children are born with 5p- Syndrome (five p minus), also known as Cat Cry Syndrome or Cri du Chat
Syndrome. 5p- Syndrome is characterized at birth by a high pitched cry, low birth weight, poor muscle tone, microcephaly, and potential medical
complications. 5p- is a term used by geneticists to describe a portion of chromosome number five that is missing in these individuals. Children born with
this rare genetic defect will most likely require ongoing support from a team of parents, therapists, and medical and educational professionals to help the
child achieve his or her maximum potential. To learn more about 5p- Syndrome or to find out how you can help, please visit their website at
