Chiari Malformation is a serious neurological disorder where the bottom part of the brain, the cerebellum, descends out of the skull and crowds the spinal cord, putting pressure on both the brain and spine and causing many symptoms. It can strike children and adults and cause crippling headaches, neck pain, balance problems, trouble breathing, numbness and weakness in the limbs, and a host of other problems. To date there has been very little research on Chiari and fundamental questions regarding its underlying cause, diagnosis, and treatment remain unanswered. It is estimated that Chiari affects over 300,000 people in the US. The Conquer Chiari Walk Across America is an annual fundraising and awareness event consisting of a series of local walks held on the 3rd and 4th Saturday in September. In 2024 the event was held both live & virtually involving thousands of participants and raised more than $250,000 for research and other patient centered programs. We are proud to say that, to date, we have invested over $6.6 million into Chiari research.
The 17th annual event will take place on September 27th, 2025. Our local event will be held at Blackhawk Park, 1629 Murphy Parkway, Eagan, MN 55122.
The event will include a lunch and a raffle following the walk to raise additional funds.
Registration: 9am
Walk: 10:30am
