About this race
Event Overview
Welcome to the 10th Annual Hope for Lillian Grace Reindeer Run 5k & 1 Mile Fun Run!
Beneficiary
This event goes to support Hope for Lillian Grace! Hope for Lillian Grace is a 501(c)(3) set up to benefit Lillian & Quinn Ball and their family as they continue their lifelong journey with Autosomal Recessive Polycystic Kidney Disease (ARPKD).
Family Journey
- Kidney Transplant: Lillian Grace (9) received her much anticipated kidney transplant along with right kidney nephrectomy on May 11, 2021.
- Quinn's Birth: Just shy of 4 weeks later, on June 7, 2021, Quinn Renee, the family's second ARPKD warrior, was born.
- Hospital Stays: Quinn was diagnosed with hypertensive cardiomyopathy shortly after admission to Wolfson Children's Hospital on August 10, 2021.
- Ongoing Care: Quinn has had two 911 calls, one transport to Wolfson, two extensive ICU stays, and regular weekly therapies.
Ongoing Expenses
The family has again endured a trying season of ARPKD and relies heavily on this annual event to help them offset costs from both the medical expenses as well as the peripheral expenses. Below are some highlighted costs that you help cover by participating!
- Oral Medications: $233.75 for one month of oral medications for Quinn.
- Syringes: $71.92 for syringes for both girls every 60 days.
- Gainesville Trip: $20-$30 gas for every trip.
- Meals: $30-$50 for hospital/appointment meals for Jamie, Joe, and Lillian.
Your Support Matters
These are just a few costs that the family endures, even with medical insurance. So, you see, every bit helps!
Whether you do the 1 mile fun run or walk/run the 5k, the family is beyond grateful for your ongoing love and support!

Please come out and join us in supporting Hope for Lillian Grace!
