Ele's Place - West Michigan Healing Hearts 5k

Join us on Sunday, June 7 at beautiful Millennium Park for the second annual Ele’s Place – West Michigan Healing Hearts 5K!

Let’s Run for Kids’ Grief Relief and support grieving children, teens, and families across West Michigan.

Ele’s Place provides peer-to-peer grief support for kids ages 3–18 who have experienced the death of someone important in their life—all completely free of charge, for as long as they need it.

This fun, family-friendly run/walk is a chance to move together, give back, and honor, celebrate, or remember someone special in your life who has died.

Every step matters—and helps ensure that no child has to grieve alone. 💙

See you at Millennium Park!
