Thomas Martinelli suffers from a rare genetic condition that is causing him to lose his eyesight.

Thomas Martinelli suffers from a rare genetic condition that is causing him to lose his eyesight.

Thomas Martinelli was just 19 months old when he was diagnosed with a peroxisomal disorder, a genetic condition that’s slowly causing him to go blind. Affecting just one in 4,000, it has benefited from stem cell research, and researchers are even closer to finding a cure. To help that goal, the Martinelli family hosts Trekking for Thomas, a 1-mile fun run for kids, which also includes a beer and wine garden for adults. Set for Sunday  from 1-3 p.m., kids can also expect an obstacle course, bounce house and other treats. Registration ranges from $25 a person to $100 for the whole family, or $10 for those who just want access to the beer and wine. All proceeds go to the Global Foundation for Peroxisomal Disorders. Get all the details here.
