May is Lyme Disease Awareness Month and this year, we're suiting up.

The Lyme Warrior 5K is coming to Roanoke, and we're going SUPERHERO. Because let's be honest if you've fought Lyme disease, you already are one.

But first we're thrilled to share that Dr. Talty, a local Lyme-literate physician, will be joining us on the greenway to speak and answer your questions. A doctor who truly understands Lyme disease is rare and invaluable, and having one right there with our community is something we don't take lightly. Don't miss the chance to connect.

This is a family event. Bring your kids, bring your dog, bring your neighbors. No pressure, no clock, no finish time just community, awareness, and a really good time on the greenway.

Lyme disease is frequently misunderstood, misdiagnosed, and isolating. Events like this one exist to change that one mile, one family, one community at a time.

Whether you are a seasoned runner or just looking to get out and enjoy some fresh air and support from the sidelines, our Lyme Disease Fundraiser is the perfect opportunity to make a difference.
