Dystance4Dystonia 5k Run/1 Mile Fun Run- September 24, 2011

We are getting ready for the

2nd Annual Dystance4Dystonia
5k Run/1 Mile Fun Run Walk
on September 24, 2011

Here is a link for the registration form: 


Please mark your calendars for this big annual event.  There will be booths with all kinds of information about Dystonia and its many forms.  There will be plenty of Dystonia patients that will be willing to talk with anyone along with family members.  There will also be lots of prizes for all the participants and there will be great food for all the runners and walkers!!

The run will begin at Covenant United Methodist Church in Dothan, Alabama at 8:00 am with registration beginning around 7:00 am.  If you register on line, please check in with registration before 8:00 am.  If you are not able to walk and/or run, your donation would be greatly appreciated.  All of the proceeds will go to the Dystonia Medical Research Foundation and is tax deductible. 

Last year we had runners ranging from North Georgia to Florida with many from throughout Alabama.  It was a very successful run, raising over $10,000 for research! 

If you or someone you know would like to be a sponsor, please contact us at DothanDystoniaSupportGroup@gmail.com  and we will forward all the necessary information to you to become a sponsor.

We will have a Dystonia Support Group meeting on Saturday August 13, 2011 at Covenant United Methodist Church.  There will be signs up to direct you to the meeting site.  Please feel free to attend the meeting.  We will be discussing the run, but we will also be listening and talking about how everyone has been doing.  That is our main interest!!!
