The 5k team that raises the most contributions will be presented with our Annual Muscle Movement Fdn. Joseph Williams Memorial Award. The Joseph Williams Memorial Award is presented in honor of the life of Joseph "Joeski" Williams. Joseph Williams, better known to his family as “Joe” or “Joey”, and to his friends as, “Joeski”, passed away from the effects of Friedrich’s Ataxia on October 31, 2013 at the age of 30. We are reminded of Joey's ability to remain resilient and live his life to the fullest, despite the deterioration of his health. We are reminded to live like Joeski by never giving up hope.
