Hello, my name is Bethany. I was diagnosed with ITP a year ago, and am currently in remission after a long time on steroids ( notice the user name

)
I would really like to sponsor a walk/run event in my community to raise awareness and funds for ITP and research. It is an idea I have had for some months and I was inspired by Kristin's story in the PDSA news.
I was wondering if any of you have heard about these events, sponsored, or attended one. I would like some feedback, what you liked, didn't liked, and any information you have on how to go about planning this huge event. Any information would be appreciated, so far I am only at the beginning stage of planning. Thank you so much.
P.S I was not sure which category to post this on. My apologies.
