Ohio (Cleveland Area) SCADaddle 5K Walk & Run for Research

Join us for the 1st annual Ohio (Cleveland Area) SCADaddle to raise money for much-needed SCAD research. Participants are invited to participate in the 5K walk/run at their own pace on the paved pathways and wooded trails at Longwood Park in Macedonia, Ohio.

Our Cause

Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection (SCAD) is a little known and poorly understood type of heart attack. SCAD is the #1 cause of heart attacks in women under age 50, pregnant women & new moms. Most patients are younger healthy women who do not have the typical risk factors of heart disease. Although less common, it can affect men too. Research is needed to identify the cause(s) and the best treatment options.
