About this race

 

Make Every Step Count at the 30th Annual Sickle Cell 5K Run/Walk!


The Annual Sickle Cell 5K Run/Walk is the Martin Center Sickle Cell Initiative’s (MCSCI) signature fundraising event—bringing together runners, walkers, families, and community champions to support hundreds of individuals across Central Indiana living with sickle cell disease.

Proceeds from the event directly fund critical services, including:

  • Education and advocacy

  • Family and caregiver support

  • Food assistance

  • Transportation aid for medical appointments

Your participation truly makes a difference. Here's how your support helps:

$25 helps provide educational resources/supplies for a newly diagnosed individual
$50 covers a round-trip ride to a medical appointment
$100 supports a month of healthy groceries for a client family
$250 funds educational workshops for warriors and caregivers
$500 contributes to a scholarship for a student living with Sickle Cell

Every dollar, every step, every stride helps stop the pain.

Be part of the movement. Register today and help build the chain of care and compassion for our sickle cell community.
