Miles for Migraine will host its 5th annual 2-mile Walk, 5K Run and Relax Buffalo Event on Saturday June 17th, at Delaware 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.
All walk and run finishers receive a finisher medal. 5K run is professionally timed. Dress up in your best purple flair for a chance at a fun prize!
All funds raised will benefit local migraine and headache research and fellowship training programs at the DENT Neurologic Institute and Miles for Migraine programs & services.
