9th Annual Hope for Lillian Grace Reindeer Run

🎄 Welcome to the Race

Welcome to the 9th Annual Hope for Lillian Grace Reindeer Run 5k & 1 Mile Fun Run!

❤️ Purpose of the Event

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).

👶 The Ball Family's Journey

• Lillian’s 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.
• Quinn's Complications: Although Quinn did not have an extensive NICU stay like big sister, her ARPKD complications were in full force from day one.
• Hospital Stays: She spent 51 days in Wolfson Children’s Hospital CVICU where she worked her heart back to full strength.

💔 Costs Incurred by the Family

Also during that time, Lillian endured countless transplant clinics in Gainesville and one hospital admission herself. 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: One month of oral medications for Quinn: $233.75
• Syringes: Syringes for both girls every 60 days: $71.92
• Travel Costs: Every Gainesville trip: $20-$30 gas
• Meals: Hospital/Appointment Meal for Jamie, Joe and Lillian: $30-$50

🙏 Every Contribution 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!
