Fargo Marathon – GoFarCharity
For the 4th consecutive year Alexa’s Hope will be one of the GoFarCharities participating in the Fargo Marathon. Every year we have added more participants to our team, and they are spreading the word.

Health Expo
Also for the 4th consecutive year, Alexa’s Hope will have a presence at the Health Expo that takes place at the Fargodome during the Fargo Marathon. A lot of interest has been generated at our booth and it has been another wonderful venue for creating awareness, providing accurate, up-to-date information, and promoting organ donation registration.
