We are doing this fundraiser to bring awareness of the burden of stroke, provide community education and to promote healthy living among the community. Stroke is the leading cause of disability in the United States. We want to focus on the stroke survivors and their families and highlight the achievements they have made.
The proceeds raised will benefit the local stroke support group at CMC-Northeast. All funds are managed by NorthEast Foundation. This support group was started in April 2014 and has grown to support many stroke survivors and their families. Please help us continue to support this cause,
Location:
NC Research Campus
Downtown Kannapolis, NC
Race packets can be picked up on race day starting at 7am. The tent will be located in front of the main Core Lab building at the research campus.
Onsite registration will be available beginning at 7am. However, race t-shirts will only be guaranteed to those who register by April 11th.
