12th Annual Standing Up to POTS 5K/2K

In-Person 5K/2K

116 people joined together at the 12^th Annual Standing Up to POTS 5K/2K to raise awareness about postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) and funds for the Standing Up to POTS Research Fund. It was a sunny, cool fall day on Wittenberg's beautiful campus and the autumn colors were on full display. We were thrilled that 31 POTS patients were able to gather in the same place at the same time! The best part of the day is always watching people with POTS meet and quickly bond over shared experiences that most people simply don't understand. What a wonderful way to spend a Saturday morning!
