Two Maine girls are on a mission to raise money and awareness to aid in the research for curing Neuroblastoma and Diamond Blackfan Anemia. They are hosting a walk/run and need you to lace up your sneakers and hit the pavement on July 3, 2013 in Houlton, Maine. Runners and walkers will meet near Military and Cary Streets, just below St. Mary's Church, where they will race to the finish line out front of the Temple Theater.

Donations are welcomed to help cover the cost of the race and enable them to give as much of the proceeds to Curesearch and DBA Foundation Inc.

Listen to what Kirk Ward, father of Makenna Ward, has to say about the upcoming event.

What these girls have been through also happens to many other children around the country. More children are diagnosed each year. Consider making a donation to help expedite a cure. Make checks payable to Miracle Mile and mail them to Miracle Mile, ℅ County Physical Therapy, 4 North Street Houlton, Maine 04730.
