Walkers are assembling in towns nationwide to raise funds and awareness for sarcoidosis research! What will YOU be doing on April 30th?
If you can’t make it to the big K.I.S.S. 5K in Chicago, you can still #ShowYourPurple closer to home as a virtual walker. Whether you walk by yourself or sign up with a dozen friends and family members, you’ll be doing your part to accelerate research and raise awareness for sarcoidosis!

This photo of over 100 virtual participants who walked together last year in Brisbane, Australia is proof that movements start with one person! Steve McLeod and his community raised over $16,000 last year in conjunction with their walk.
