Miles for Migraine Illinois
The Miles for Migraine Illinois event takes place at Diversey Harbor and Lincoln Park in Chicago. This annual gathering serves as a fundraiser focused on migraine and headache awareness, treatment, and research. Participants can choose between two primary activities held in the park:
- 5K Run
- 2 Mile Walk
The 5K Run is professionally timed for participants interested in recorded results. All finishers in both the walk and the run categories receive a finisher medal at the conclusion of their respective courses.
In addition to the physical activities, the event features a festival area where attendees can interact with local sponsors and listen to speakers from the medical community. The program aims to foster connections within the local migraine and headache community. Participants often incorporate purple attire into their gear as a symbol of the cause.
Proceeds from the event support the Seymour Diamond Fellowship in Headache Medicine. These funds are used to facilitate local migraine research, support fellowship training programs, and maintain Miles for Migraine services. The event provides a structured environment for those wishing to support medical research and community outreach initiatives in the Illinois region.
