Fighting PH one step at a time...


About us

A 5k fun run/walk to raise awareness and funding for the fight against pulmonary hypertension (PH), a debilitating disease which affects the hearts and lungs of children and adults. Proceeds from the event benefit the Ewing Family Fund for PH Research at Stanford and the Vera Moulton Wall Center for Pulmonary Vascular Disease. The Vera Moulton Wall Center provides programs and services for PH patients at Stanford University and through support of the Pulmonary Hypertension Association.

The Race Against PH was started in 2001 by a pulmonary hypertension patient and their family in an effort to promote awareness about this devastating illness. The funds raised support research efforts dedicated to finding new treatments and, ultimately, a cure for PH.

To receive information on this year's race and other events at the Wall center, please send us an e-mail with your name, mailing and email address.

For those who do not want to complete the course volunteer opportunities are also available. We rely on 100+ volunteers to assist on race day. Volunteers help with registration, serve as monitors along the course, staff the water station on the course, distribute t-shirts and snacks post race, assist with the kids activities, and aid at the finish line. 
 
Anyone interested in volunteering should complete a registration form (no fee required) and check the volunteer box. All volunteers receive a race t-shirt. If you are volunteering with a friend please indicate the name of the person and we will make sure you can work together. Students are also welcome to volunteer as well but we do request that any volunteers under the age of 12 have a parent, adult, or older sibling volunteer with them. 
 
School and community groups are also welcome to volunteer.  Please contact our information line at 800-640-9255 for additional information.
