2019 5K SCADaddle for Research -
Center Valley, PA
Upper Saucon Township Community Park
Saturday, October 12, 2019
Our Cause
Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection (SCAD) is a little known and poorly understood cause of a heart attack. Most patients are young, healthy and active women who do not have the typical risk factors of heart disease. Although less common, it can affect men too. SCAD can recur and can be fatal. Research is needed to identify the cause(s) and the best treatment options.
SCAD is the #1 cause of heart attacks in women under age 50, pregnant women & new moms.
SCADaddle
Join us for our 4th annual Lehigh Valley 5K to raise money for much needed research. Our timed 5K run/walk takes place at Upper Saucon Township Community Park in Bethlehem, PA - a kid friendly and dog friendly park. We encourage families to participate. Register by October 1 to guarantee this year's t-shirt. Packet pick-up begins at 7:30 am on Oct. 12 at Saucon Township Community Park.
