Race Against PH 5k Fun Run/Walk

A 5k fun run/walk to raise awareness and funding for the fight against pulmonary hypertension (PH), a debilitating disease which affects the heart and lungs of children and adults. Proceeds will benefit the Ewing Family Fund for Pulmonary Hypertension Research at Stanford and The Pulmonary Hypertension Association. Cost: FREE for Stanford Staff, Students and Faculty (must pre-register). Others $25.00 before 10/31/04. $30.00 for race day registration. The race will begin promptly at 9:00 am rain or shine.

The Race Against PH was started in 2001 by a pulmonary hypertension patient and their family in an effort to promote awareness about this devastating illness. The funds raised support research efforts dedicated to finding new treatments and, ultimately, a cure for PH. This year we will honor the memory of the race's founder for her vision of, and dedication to, this event.

The Vera Moulton Wall Center for Pulmonary Vascular Disease was established in 2000 through a generous contribution from an anonymous donor. The Center seeks to enhance the lives of patients with PH by providing the highest level of clinical care, advanced training opportunities for physicians and other health care providers, and participating in clinical and basic science research for pulmonary vascular disease.
