Due to the forecast for high winds and heavy rain coming into the area starting Friday evening, we have decided in the interest of safety to change our plans for the walk/run/relax event planned tomorrow morning. The outdoor portion of the event has been cancelled. Please join us starting at 9AM for our breakfast and speaker program at Chestnut Hill College.
Miles for Migraine will host its 10th annual 2-mile Walk (or Intentional Movement of your choice), 5K Run and Relax Philadelphia Event on Saturday October 1st at Forbidden Drive in Wissahickon Park. This event is a fundraiser for Migraine & Headache Awareness, Treatment & Research.
It's more than a walk/run - come connect with your local migraine & headache community, listen to our speakers & visit sponsors in the festival area. We'll also have a new Family Fun Zone and special Treasure Hunt to learn more about migraine.
Dress up in your best purple flair for a chance at a fun prize!
Immediately following the walk/run/relax we will have a post event brunch with presentation by Dr. Courtney White. Read more below.
All funds raised will benefit local migraine and headache research and fellowship training programs at:
Jefferson Headache Center
Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP)
