Tiny Footprints Remembrance 5K Run/Walk

👣 Tiny Footprints Remembrance 5K Overview

This is our 2nd annual Tiny Footprints Remembrance 5K! Our first year was incredibly successful and we can't wait to see the turn out this year!

🕊️ Purpose of the Event

In May of 2023, we unexpectedly and tragically lost one of our twin babies, Piper, in utero at 31 weeks. I was placed on constant monitoring and bedrest until our survivor, Juniper, was safely delivered 10 days following and spent 29 days in the NICU. This pain was and is incomprehensible, and no parent should ever have to go through it.

• Higher Rates: Sadly, the rates of miscarriages, neonatal loss, and infant loss are higher than most think.
• Taboo Subject: It’s something that isn’t often talked about, as grieving, especially grieving a child, is a taboo subject in our culture.
• Need for Support: When we were going through this nightmare, it helped to have support from individuals who have had similar experiences.
• Goals: Our goal with this race is to honor our daughter and the other babies who never got to come earth side, and those who left earth far too soon.

💖 Proceeds and Impact

Proceeds will fund our upcoming non-profit organization, Tiny Footprints Remembrance Foundation, in order to support the Covenant NICU, the bereavement program at Covenant called Noah's Footprints who creates mementos for grieving parents and helps with support, as well as creating "care kits" to give to local hospital and OB offices to help support mothers going through miscarriages.

• Non-Profit Support: Proceeds will fund our upcoming non-profit organization.
• NICU Support: Focus on supporting the Covenant NICU.
• Bereavement Program: Assistance through Noah's Footprints program.
• Care Kits: Creating care kits for local hospitals and OB offices.
