Frontier Fiesta March for Marrow 5K Run & Walk is an inspiring and festive event put on in collaboration with the University of Houston’s Frontier Fiesta, http://www.uh.edu/fiesta/.

Our goals are to raise $35,000 for the Aplastic Anemia & MDS International Foundation, Inc., (AA&MDSIF) to educate the public about these rare diseases, to recruit 20 marrow donor candidates for the National Marrow Donor Program, and to run and walk to find a cure for bone marrow failure diseases! 

AA&MDSIF supports over 4,000 Texas bone marrow failure disease patients and families.
