This annual New York event for migraine is a fundraising event organized by the Miles for Migraine nonprofit to raise awareness and funds for those affected by migraine and headache disease. We have a professionally timed New York 5K run and an untimed walk. Funds raised go towards supporting local migraine research, education for headache fellows (doctors getting specialty training in the field of headache medicine) as well as Miles for Migraine programming here in New York. This event will support the new headache fellowship program at Weill Cornell, enabling our fellows to conduct research, receive education, and participate in patient advocacy activities.
