• 5K Run:- Run 3.1 Miles

 _ March for Marrow LA 2018 will be our 9th annual 5K run at Shoreline Village. As our major promoter, Mia Hamm of the US Women’s National Team says, “This run is perfect for the new and seasoned runner. The course is scenic, flat and fast.” Mia runs this race in memory of her older brother and mentor, Garret John Hamm.

We’ll run south along the beautiful Long Beach Shoreline and back.

The March for Marrow 5K Runs and Walks, which take place every year in different communities across the country, are also fundraising and community building events where patients and their supporters come together to compete at raising as much money as they can for the patient and family services offered free-of-charge by the Foundation and for research, raising about $300,000 annually. 

We would like to double or even triple that investment in the next five years.
