Mainstay operates several homes for people living with Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS), a rare genetic condition. These customized homes provide a safe and community-focused living environment and provide people with the support they need to reach their goals.
One person who is always striving to reach new heights is Stephen!
Stephen enjoys bowling, movies, and exercising. Looking for a new challenge to add to his exercise routine, he decided to join Mainstay’s 2024 Marathon Relay Team. For several months leading up to the race, Stephen and his running mate Gerri, Associate Director of Residential Programs, trained at different parks and trails in the Pittsburgh area.
Despite the rainy weather, Stephen and Gerri were proud to successfully complete the 5.3-mile leg of the race. Stephen’s favorite part of the race was seeing his family at the finish line. The photos and memories from that day will last a lifetime!
Stephen is excited to continue his running journey by taking an even longer leg in the 2025 race. We’re excited to see how far he goes!
