Our Purpose
To share our story with others who have or are experiencing the loss of a child at any age. We want families to know that they do not have to face this alone. Our goal is to come together as a community to raise funds for Winnie Palmer Hospital for Women and Babies towards continued research and to provide support to bereaved families just starting this journey, and to let those at any stage of their journey know they are not alone. Our event is uplifting, and focused on hope, and strength, while honoring all the tiny footprints by running or walking for those that will never get the chance to. The 2nd Annual Run for the Cherubs 5K & Walk benefitting Orlando Health Winnie Palmer Hospital for Women & Babies is professionally chip timed by Florida Race Day with live online results.
