    "We are thrilled to support Hope4Harper's research efforts as this
    year's title sponsor at the Run4Hope Fun Run & 5K," states Andrew
    Hard, Spokesperson for HempMeds®


    "Through the love of her parents, care givers and support network,
    Harper has achieved incredibly challenging activities at just five years
    of age. She exudes the definition of 'giving hope' to others here and
    around the world."


    \tAt two weeks of age, Harper Elle Howard was overcome with seizures. Her
    parents scoured the country searching for a doctor who could tell them
    what was happening. Dustin and Penny Howard heard the words "CDKL5" and
    "no known cure." They reflect, "It was simply unacceptable. We were
    committed to doing everything we could to improve Harper's quality of
    life."


    \tCDKL5
    is a rare and debilitating seizure disorder that presents itself in the
    first few months of a child's life. The condition had only been
    diagnosed 300 times globally prior to Harper's diagnosis. Since then,
    the number of children diagnosed with CDKL5 has doubled. Those living
    with CDKL5 suffer
    from a wide array of health issues – leaving them with the inability to
    talk, walk or feed themselves. Many are confined to a wheelchair.
