Erica Richards Raises over $4,000 in Run for Emma

On Sunday, November 8, Erica Richards ran the Seacoast Half Marathon in honor of her daughter Emma and raised over $4,000 for The NephCure Foundation.

Emma has had Nephrotic Syndrome since she was 5 years old. Sunday was Emma's 8th birthday and her mom made everyone proud. Spectators cheered Erica along, providing great motivation.

"NephCure was there for us when we needed to learn more about Emma's disease," said Erica, who finished the race in two hours, 11 minutes and 39 seconds. "I hope that someday there will be a cure."
