This is an incredible opportunity to raise awareness for congenital muscular dystrophy and funds to support Cure CMD's mission while taking on the world's largest marathon!

Our four runners have each committed to raising over $3,000 to advance Cure CMD's work in research, care, and programming that empower the lives of those living with CMD. Every mile they run helps move the field forward and brings meaningful hope to families in the CMD community.
