Stop the Clot 5K - Uptown Chicago May 10, 2015

Did you know every 5 minutes someone dies from a blood clot?

My name Christina Martin and I am the Race Director for the 1st annual Stop the Clot Chicago 5K run/walk. The run will be hosted on Sunday, May 10, 2015 Mother's Day on Montrose Beach in Chicago's Uptown neighborhood.

This cause is very near and dear to my heart as my best friend Manu Williams who I love dearly passed away from a blood clot on September 28, 2014. He was only 36 years young & very active. My new goal is to promote the dangers of blood clots.

I’m working with the NBCA.  The NBCA (National Blood Clot Alliance) is a national charity that provides research and support to eliminate the # of people who are impacted by blood clots (DVT and PE): https://www.crowdrise.com/stoptheclotchicago/fundraiser/christinamartin2
