Memorial MSA 5K: In Memory of Chad D. Sprankle

🕊️ Event Overview

Please join us in memory of Chad D. Sprankle, a Hanover local who was diagnosed with Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) in the summer of 2021 and sadly passed away from this horrific disease in May of last year. Our prior events were a total success putting our overall fundraising total to just over $50,000! With that said, we are excited to dive into our fourth and final MSA 5K event!

🧠 What is MSA?

• Definition: Multiple System Atrophy is an extremely rare degenerative neurological disorder affecting the body's involuntary/autonomic functions including blood pressure, breathing, bladder function, and motor control.
• Progression: The disease progresses rapidly and there currently is no cure.
• Awareness Month: March is Multiple System Atrophy Awareness month, so what better time to put our efforts together!

💰 Race Details

We are planning to hold our fourth annual 5K event on Saturday, March 29th at 9:00 a.m.

• Location: Strength United CrossFit, Hanover, PA.
• Registration Cost: $30.00.
• Online Registration: Closes on March 22nd.
