UPDATE for Baltimore Racers:
THANK YOU to everyone who supported the #RaceforALS in Baltimore on Sunday, April 29th!
Prelimary race results can be found here: http://www.bluecheetahtiming.com/results/
Photos from the day continue to be posted on the Brigance Brigade Foundation Facebook page: www.facebook.com/brigancebrigade -- please tag yourself and share your images, using our hashtag: #RaceforALS
The total amount raised will be known once this page closes at the end of May 2018! The fundraising thermometer to the right does not include all of our amazing sponsorship support; we will keep everyone updated and appreciate the tremendous contributions of all involved!
Movin' on up: Did you notice our fundraising goal changed? It's because all of you smashed our original goal nearly a week before race day! Show us what you're made of, let's see if we can hit 100% for ALS families ... again!
Fundraising incentives, race shirts, medals: We ran low on t-shirts and medals -- what a great problem to have! If we owe you anything, please contact Amanda and Kelly: info@brigancebrigade.org / 410-878-2030. Thanks!

This year we will race, run, walk, stroll, roll, and raise funds to help ALS families thrive, just in time to kick off the month of May -- ALS Awareness Month. Join us to #RaceforALS!
Proceeds from the event equip, encourage, and empower those battling ALS and their families. The Brigance Brigade Foundation is one of the only organizations providing support to people battling the disease right now. Your registration and donations turn into services, equipment and guidance that provide hope and help to people in the fight of their lives, the fight for their lives.
