Description

Fight the Flame 5k and 1k Family Stroll & Roll is an annual race established to raise money and awareness for Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS).

This is an official, timed 5k. Prizes will be awarded to the Top Winners. Medals are distributed to all participants.

We hold a fantastic raffle at the event to bring in additional funds.

There is a race village where sponsors can display, and give out information and such about their products.

Funds raised are used for:
• College scholarships
• Monthly CRPS support meetings via Zoom
• Quarterly newsletter
• Funding a suicide prevention speaker
• Establishing 2 thermography labs (Temple University and another university TBD)
• Supporting the American Academy of Thermography to expand its reach within the medical community further
• Seed funding a CRPS research project at the University of Arizona
• Creating a one-day Pain Conference in Charlotte, NC on 4/22/2023
