Ainsely Angels 5K

December 15 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm

Ainsley is the daughter of Kim and Lori Rossiter.  Kim, or ‘Rooster’, is a retired Marine Corps Major. Born in the middle of three children in 2003, Ainsley, was diagnosed with Infantile Neuroaxonal Dystrophy (INAD) just before turning four years of age. INAD is an extremely rare terminal illness that has slowly caused global paralysis.

 

When Ainsley went for her first jog during a local road race in 2008, she gave a radiant wind-induced smile that anyone would envy. In an instant, running provided the family with a therapeutic means to fight the devastation associated with learning and trying to live with the fact that sweet Ainsley had a terminal illness that would eventually take her to heaven in February of 2016.

We invite you to watch the video at the top of this page, as it truly captures Ainsley’s energy and her impact on our world.
