Kaila's Komfort CRMO Awareness 5K will officially take place on Saturday, November 18, 2017. However, participants may complete their 5K anytime between November 18 and November 25, 2017. Supporters from all over the world will walk, run, bike, skip, wheel (wheelchairs), or roll 3.1 miles to support our CRMO community. The Virtual CRMO Awareness 5K is a virtual race, so you have the flexibility to participate wherever and whenever is most convenient for you! We want to band together CRMO families and friends from all over the world to support one another and bring awareness.
In order to guarantee your shirt and bracelet delivery prior to race day, you must register by November 4th. We will make every effort to get them to you prior to race day after this date, but it is not guaranteed.
Track workouts anywhere & anytime and complete goal.
ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION
KAILAS KOMFORT
Kaila’s Komfort is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that was created to provide comfort to children and adults diagnosed with Chronic Recurrent Multifocal Osteomyelitis (CRMO), to bring awareness, and to support families affected by this disease. We ship care packages around the world to kids and adults with CRMO and their families.
Most importantly, your participation will show support for the CRMO community. Having a rare disease can be lonely. By bringing all of our families together worldwide, we can truly know we are not alone in this journey. We are virtually joining hands and walking side-by-side.
Proceeds from the Virtual CRMO Awareness 5K will be split evenly between the Kaila's Komfort Care Package Program, Seattle Children's Hospital CRMO Research Fund, and a new Kaila's Komfort Grant Fund set up to support local CRMO events and gatherings. This new Fund will help facilitate and encourage local CRMO families to start local in-person events to promote support and unity.

How do I join a team on this campaign?
While registering for the campaign, select the team you'd like to join or create a new team and invite others to #GetFitGiveBack with you. If you want to join a team (or create your team) after registration, login to the campaign site and you would find a link to edit "My Team" in the menu under your profile in the header.
I am an international donor (non-US), what are my donation charges and tax-deductibility?
All donations are made in US dollars, so the donations may be levied an exchange rate fee via your bank. Donors will want to connect with their bank to determine exactly what that fee may be. Additionally, international donors will need to reach out to a tax professional to discuss if and how tax deductibility will apply to their donation.
Who can sponsor my fundraising efforts?
The short answer is - everyone. The fundraising research shows that the number one reason for people not donating is that they weren't asked to.
That said, there are things you can do to attract people to sponsor you. Adding a picture to your fundraising page, telling potential donors why this cause is so personal to you, sharing your fundraising page on social media, email, and chat groups.
Last, if your employer has a gift matching program, check with the human resources department to support your favorite cause as well.
Who can I contact if I need help?
