My name is Kelli O'Neil and I am part of a Facebook group called I Run 4 Michael. This group randomly pairs runners with special needs individuals and runners dedicate their miles to their assigned buddy. I was matched with a little girl named Oaklynn on December 12th, 2014. It was on that day that I was introduced to the sweetest little girl that suffers from a disorder called Rett Syndrome. It was also on that day that I gained a special friendship that I will cherish forever.

I've joined Team Girl Power 2 Cure and will be participating in the 2019 Disney Princess Half Marathon race in honor of my pRETTy little buddy, Oaklynn. Please help me raise funds in her honor in hopes that a cure will be found to one day reverse Rett Syndrome. I'll keep fighting for her #UntilSheCan, and I hope that you'll join me, too.
