Conquer Chiari Walk Across America

Conquer Chiari Walk Across America

Chiari malformation is a serious neurological disorder where the brain is compressed in the back of the skull and and descends into the spinal cavity, causing pain and a number of other symptoms.  It is estimated that 300,000 people in the U.S. suffer from Chiari malformation.  However, there is a serious lack of research and awareness as to its causes, diagnosis, and treatment.  Therer is no known cure. The Conquer Chiari Walk Across America is a series of local awareness and fundraising walks held across the country on the 3rd and 4th Saturdays in September, uniting patients and their families across the country. Join us to help support the thousands of people struggling with this life changing diagnosis.  Proceeds will be used to fund Chiari research, education, and awareness programs.  We will have a 5K walk (please walk at your fitness level), food, music, games, a bake sale and a raffle.  The event is free, but pre-registration online is encouraged.  Visit www.conquerchiari.org.and select "Ohio - Beavercreek" to register.
