GBS-CIDP 5k & Miracle Mile

Run, Walk or Roll a Mile for GBS-CIDP
Saturday, May 12, 2012
Charlotte, North Carolina

The days’ events are designed to promote and encourage active families and healthy lifestyles and to cultivate community connection within the Charlotte, NC area.

The day will begin with a beautiful walk/run/roll course
passing through the South Park area of Charlotte and concluding at Morrison Place where food, music and activities for the family will make this a festive event
that brings our community together and help raise awareness for GBS-CIDP.

We call this the Miracle Mile because many of us affected by GBS-CIDP thought we would never move unassisted again, much less complete a mile! EVERYONE is welcome to participate in this event… run, walk, skip, roll and help celebrate other’s Miracles. It is truly a miracle that survivors are thriving – please join us in celebrating their success at the finish line!

Online registration is now closed but, you can still register at “Packet Pick Up” and race morning.

Friday, May 11, 2012 from 3PM – 6PM will be “Packet Pick Up” located in the breezeway in front of the EarthFare SouthPark at Morrison Place
