It will raise money for Be The Match, which helps save patients with life threatening blood cancers by adding members to the National Bone Marrow Registy in hopes to find transplant donor matches. It also funds research and transplants.
At the end of the race participants get free bacon, courtesy of Waffle House, this event’s bacon sponsor.
