Event summary

Join the Adalyn Rose Foundation for their 2024 Empty Stroller Run & Walk on October 27th in Reading, Berks. This event aims to support families who have experienced pregnancy and infant loss, with proceeds going towards assisting these families. Participants can choose to run a 5K, 10K, or walk either in-person at the Berks County Heritage Center or at a satellite location in Scranton, PA, or virtually between October 1st and 31st. Registration is required, with children 11 and under participating for free. Participants are encouraged to create teams and fundraisers to help raise money for this important cause. Last year, over $100,000 was raised, and the goal is to support even more families this year. Whether you run with an empty stroller or not, this event is a meaningful way to honor babies and raise awareness of pregnancy and infant loss.
