The As One Foundation is gearing up for the 16th Annual Darling Dash, a signature race and community movement focused on raising awareness and critical support for sickle cell disease and the often-overlooked risks tied to sickle cell trait. This year’s event is especially meaningful as the foundation marks 25 years since the loss of Devaughn Darling in 2001.
“Twenty-five years later, the pain is still real, but so is the purpose,” said Devard Darling, Founder of the As One Foundation and former Houston Texans NFL player. “The Darling Dash is how we keep Devaughn’s name alive, raise awareness that can save lives, and bring families together to run for something bigger than a finish line.”
Participants of all ages and fitness levels are encouraged to register and take part in the race day experience while supporting prevention-focused programs and community education. The event welcomes runners, walkers, families, teams, and supporters who want to make an impact.
