Thank you to all our sponsors for making this event possible so we could share John's story with everyone and maybe inspire you to go beyond your limits. Here is a list of our corporat

Help Fund the John Rosen Memorial 5K and 1 Mile Fun Walk We are now accepting donations from anyone who would like to help us finance this event. Our biggest expense is paying for the Town of Vienna Police Department's services on race day as well as race insurance and professional timing. We want to keep the actual registration fees low for the event. And we want to encourage people to donate money to the Spina Bifida Foundation.
