CCHS 5K Run/Walk
April 18, 2026
8:00 AM
Northeast Ms Community College

This 5K Run is in honor of Grayson Mills the precious 8-month-old son of Tylor and Lindsay Mills. Though his life began with an unexpected diagnosis of Congenital Central Hypoventilation Syndrome (CCHS), Grayson meets each day with a joyful smile and a gentle spirit that touches everyone who meets him. His journey hasn’t been easy, but his strength shines through in every milestone he reaches. Supported by the endless love of his parents and family, Grayson continues to grow and thrive, reminding us all of the power of hope, perseverance, and unconditional love.
