Frontier Fiesta March for Marrow 5K Run & Walk is an inspiring and festive event put on in collaboration with the University of Houston’s Frontier Fiesta, http://www.uh.edu/fiesta/.

Our goals are to raise $35,000 for the Aplastic Anemia & MDS International Foundation, Inc., (AA&MDSIF) to educate the public about these rare diseases, to recruit 20 marrow donor candidates for the National Marrow Donor Program, and to run and walk to find a cure for bone marrow failure diseases! 

AA&MDSIF supports over 4,000 Texas bone marrow failure disease patients and families.

Our third annual collaboration with the fun and festive University of Houston’s Frontier Fiesta, March for Marrow 2016 will be run in the shadow of the University’s TDECU Stadium. The Start Gate is at the intersection of Cullen Rd. and Cougar Parl Drive. The course is flat, fast and ideal for beating your personal best.
