Brentwood, Tennessee – February 18, 2025 – Lace up your running shoes and join the fight against ALS! Registration is now open for the TShawStrong 5K to Beat ALS, set to take place on May 3, 2025, at Andrews Cadillac in Brentwood, TN. The event kicks off with a 5K run at 8 AM, followed by a Kids Fun Run at 10 AM, bringing together the community to raise essential funds and awareness for ALS research and support.

All proceeds from the race will directly benefit the Vanderbilt ALS Research Center and the Sandra West ALS Foundation. The Vanderbilt ALS Research Center is at the forefront of groundbreaking research aimed at improving early detection and treatment of ALS. Meanwhile, the Sandra West ALS Foundation provides hope and assistance by awarding college scholarships to students whose families have been impacted by the disease.

A Race with a Purpose

Now in its second year, the TShawStrong 5K to Beat ALS was founded by Stacey Baker, whose sister was diagnosed with ALS in 2022. The event carries forward the mission of TShawStrong, an initiative established by Tim Shaw, a former NFL linebacker and special teams standout for the Tennessee Titans. Tim was diagnosed with ALS in 2014 and has since dedicated his life to raising awareness and funding research to find a cure.

The TShawStrong 5K is more than just a race—it’s a movement. The event is designed to keep administrative costs to a minimum, ensuring that as many funds as possible go directly toward ALS research and supporting those affected by the disease.

How to Get Involved

Whether you’re an experienced runner or just looking to support a great cause, there’s a place for you in this event. Participants can run in person on race day or join virtually from anywhere in the world.

Let’s come together, hit the pavement, and show our strength for those battling ALS. Sign up today and be part of the movement to find a cure!
