Besides raising funds to help support the mesothelioma community, the best part about the Alton Miles for Meso race are the shirts.
If you’ve ever attended a Miles for Meso race, you know what I mean because everyone who registers for the Alton race, receives a free shirt. They are a moisture-wicking, long-sleeve shirt with cuffed sleeves.
The most common comment we hear every year from race attendees is how much they like the shirts. This is great news for our corporate sponsors because all the sponsorship levels include having their logo on the back of the Miles for Meso shirts.
There is still time for businesses who would like to support the mesothelioma community and become a Miles for Meso sponsor. The deadline to become a sponsor this year and still get your logo on the back of the shirts is Sept. 15.

Why Be a Miles for Meso Sponsor?
The first Miles for Meso race was held in 2009. Since then, the Alton race has raised more than $125,000 for mesothelioma cancer research and support. The support from sponsors of the race play a huge role in the amount of funds raised.
Thousands of lives are impacted by mesothelioma and asbestos-related diseases every year. In short, becoming a corporate sponsor of the Miles for Meso 5k means you are not only receiving excellent exposure in the Alton community and beyond, but more importantly, you are helping to support a worthy cause. There is no known cure for mesothelioma and all proceeds from the Miles for Meso race will benefit mesothelioma research and awareness.
