CRMO Awareness Walk-A-Thon/5K - Team Chris - Maryland Walk

Location: Lake Needwood
Time: 9:30am
***The walk will start promptly at 9:30***

Join us for the 3rd annual CRMO Awareness 5K as we gather to raise awareness and research funds for CRMO. Chronic Recurrent Multifocal Osteomyelitis is an extremely rare, autoinflammatory bone disease where the immune system attacks healthy bone. Chris was diagnosed three years ago after intense pain, eventually losing his ability to walk and even sleep lying down. He would scream out in pain every night and there was nothing we could do to help him feel better. It took a while to get him properly diagnosed as CRMO looks like some cancers and infection. There is no diagnostic test for the disease and it can only be diagnosed once all other diseases are ruled out.

For the past two years, he has been receiving infusions that have put the disease into remission. A recent MRI showed that the disease is active again and we're not sure of the next steps. There is still so little known about the cause of CRMO and the best way to treat it. There are no FDA approved treatments and most doctors have never even heard of it. There are also a lot of patients who are significantly worse off than Chris. They have failed every available treatment option and have had life threatening reactions to medications.

PLEASE join us on October 26th (also Alex's birthday) to help us raise money to fight this awful disease and support the families who battle it daily. If you can't join us in person, consider donating to the cause and walking on your own to show support. THANK YOU!
