Maddie’s Miles October 26, 2019
Jamison Park Winston Salem
Maddie’s Miles was founded by Claudia Marini to honor the memory of her daughter Maddison Marini. Maddie lost her battle with addiction on December 29, 2016 at the age of 22. Maddie’s Miles is the main fundraiser for Maddie’s Mission, a non-profit organization that promotes awareness, support, and treatment for those that continue to battle with this illness of addiction. Maddie’s Mission supports multiple projects through the proceeds from Maddie’s Miles. The largest benefactor is the Forsyth Drug Court, providing a treatment plan instead of jail for those who are charged with drug related crimes.
Maddie’s Miles is a family friendly 5K event good for runners, walkers, kids, strollers, and dogs. All finishers will receive a medal, handmade by one of our students with disabilities from Thomasville City Schools. Awards are given to the top three overall (male and female) as well as (male and female) age group placers. There is always great door prizes, food, water, and music at the finish line to end what has been a very moving exciting day.
