Dr. KMR Memorial Sickle Cell 5K Walk/Run
Place
201 N Main Street
Kannapolis, NC US 28081
Description
Walk with us. Remember with us. Fight with us.
In every step, we carry the story of Dr. Kelsea Monet Randolph, who bravely battled Sickle Cell Disease until her passing in 2017—just thirteen days after her 25th birthday. Kelsea’s journey was marked by determination, compassion, and an unshakable spirit. Despite the challenges
she faced, Kelsea completed nearly every requirement at Hampton University’s School of Pharmacy and was awarded her Doctorate of Pharmacy. Her perseverance and dedication continue to inspire us, fueling our mission to honor her legacy and advocate for everyone
affected by Sickle Cell Disease.
This 3-mile walk is more than a tribute—it’s a call to action. An estimated 100,000 Americans live with Sickle Cell Disease. Together, we can push for greater awareness, research, and a cure. Proceeds from this event will benefit Sickle Cell Partners of the Carolinas, supporting local families, advocacy, and education. Every step we take honors Kelsea’s memory and supports the fight against sickle cell.
Register before the deadline of Monday, September 15, 2025, to confirm your participation and guarantee your T-shirt.

Your $25 registration includes participating in the walk/run and the T-shirt—so from the very first step, you will be making a visible statement of solidarity. Every shirt worn helps create a powerful wave of awareness, advocacy, and hope for a cure.
