Event summary
Join us for the 15th Annual Jenny's Light Virtual Run on Sunday, May 14, 2023, in beautiful Los Gatos, Santa Clara! This uplifting event celebrates mothers everywhere and encourages participants to walk, jog, hike, or run with family and friends over Mother's Day weekend. With race distances of 5K, 10K, and a fun Kids 1K, it’s an excellent opportunity to honor maternal health and remember those who have touched our lives.
Though the event is virtual this year, the spirit remains strong as we promote awareness of maternal mental health, especially during May, which is Maternal Mental Health Awareness Month. There’s no registration required – just find your own time and space to participate in this meaningful occasion. Help us keep the conversation going and let’s shine a light on the importance of support for mothers everywhere!

OUR MISSION WAS TO IMPROVE & SAVE LIVES BY INCREASING AWARENESS OF ALL PERINATAL MOOD DISORDERS, INCLUDING POSTPARTUM DEPRESSION. IN 2016 WE MERGED OUR EFFORTS AND FUNDRAISING WITH SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA BASED SUPPORTING MAMAS https://runsignup.com/supportingmamas.org.
