🏃‍♀️ Race Overview

Please join us for our SEVENTH annual Baby Steps Foundation 5K to support those affected by pregnancy and infant loss. It's so crazy to see this crazy little idea we had to have a small 5K turn into hundreds of people. We cannot thank you enough for your support.

Mission: Our mission is to offer support to women and families while honoring their babies, as well as give back to the stillbirth and loss community.

💰 Proceeds and Impact

The proceeds from the race will go directly to Baby Steps Foundation and supporting our mission. We are currently funding the cremation program for miscarriages, stillbirths and infants at St. Joseph's hospital in Tacoma, WA and St. Elizabeth's hospital in Enumclaw, WA so no family has to financially take on that burden. We need to keep this fund going!

The amount the hospital has needed has kept growing over the years. We have also funded headstones and donated mold kits to families at the hospital who have experienced a loss so they have something tangible to bring home with them. We have created Mama boxes for those early in their loss in 2021 and have received such amazing feedback on them. We have now sent out over 150 boxes. These are just some examples of service we have done in support of our mission.
