5th Annual “Miles for Migraine” Event Held in Scottsdale to Raise Funds for Migraine and Headache Awareness, Treatment, and Research

“Miles for Migraine” hosted its 5th annual 2-mile walk, 5-kilometer run, and Relax Scottsdale Event on November 17 at the 2023 Scottsdale Headache Symposium. The 3 events were held to raise funds for migraine and headache awareness and treatment and research. All funds raised will benefit the American Headache Society (AHS) Resident Education Program, which is a weekend session aimed at providing a knowledge base in headache medicine to first and second year pediatric and adult neurology specialists.

Miles for Migraine is a nonprofit organization founded in 2008 with the goal of improving the lives of people with headache and migraine by funding fellowship programs, thereby addressing and mitigating the headache specialist shortage in the United States. Since its foundation, Miles for Migraine has held competitive 2-mile walks, 5-kilometer runs, and 10-kilometer runs across the country, along with educational and community-based events.
