Turning Pain Into Purposeβ€”Join Us in the Fight the Flame Movement

Dear Family & Friends,

It’s that time again… the 12th Annual Fight the Flame 5K is coming up, and yes, we’re still running (or walking... or cheerleading from the couch) to support an incredibly personal cause: CRPS awareness and research.

This race was created by my amazing nephew, Landon, in honor of his mom—my sister Beth—who has lived with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) for over 25 years. That’s more than two decades of constant, often excruciating, nerve pain. But instead of giving in, Beth chose to turn pain into purpose—and honestly, she’s unstoppable.

Thanks to this community’s support over the years, Fight the Flame has:

*Built a thriving CRPS support group in Charlotte
*Created a college scholarship for local high school students
*Raised nearly $225,000 for CRPS advocacy and research
*And officially became a 501(c)(3) nonprofit—which is a huge deal!

So… what is CRPS?
CRPS (formerly called RSD) is a rare, neurological condition that causes chronic, severe pain—the kind of pain that never takes a day off. It often starts in one limb and can spread throughout the body. There is no cure (yet), which is why awareness and funding are so critical.

This year’s race is Sunday, September 28, 2025, at McAlpine Creek Park in Charlotte, NC. We would love for you to join us in person, but if you can’t, you can run (or walk or lounge supportively) virtually—or simply donate to support the cause.

Thank you for standing with us, year after year. Your support helps fund hope—and hopefully, a cure.

With love and gratitude,
Jennie, Steve, Olivia & Emily 

Please consider making a donation.

Your gift will help thousands of those affect by Complex Regional Pain Syndrome
