Join us on Sunday, April 8th as we Kick In to Stop Sarcoidosis (KISS). 

Walk, run, or roll around the track at Mamaroneck High School for one symbolic lap, or go round and round again for miles if you're willing & able. All registered participants will receive a t-shirt & other SWAG.

Why "Walk 'n' Roll"?

For years, I participated in walkathons (and even ran a little) to support people with cancer, MS, diabetes, arthritis, and most recently, sarcoidosis. As my illness progressed, walking that much became painful, then more difficult, then downright impossible. I shifted to volunteering at the events instead, but missed being able to literally "go the distance" with the rest of my team. I've since bought a mobility scooter, so now I'm able to keep up at events like this. So whether you can walk it or run it on your own, or you'll go the distance with the support of a rollator, wheelchair, or scooter, this Walk 'n' Roll is for you!  ~Kerry Wong, Walk Leader

What is Sarcoidosis?

Sarcoidosis (pronounced SAR-COY-DOE-SIS) is an inflammatory disease characterized by the formation of granulomas, tiny clumps of inflammatory cells, in one or more organs of the body. When the immune system goes into overdrive and too many of these clumps form, they can interfere with an organ’s structure and function. When left unchecked, chronic inflammation can lead to fibrosis, which is permanent thickening or scarring of organ tissue.  There is no cure, but there is hope.
