Organiser's description

Join us in a 5k run or 1-mile walk as we remember Hudson on his 5th birthday and all the little ones gone too soon. Proceeds from the event will be used to purchase a cuddle cot to be given in memory of Hudson to a hospital. A cuddle cot is an in-room cooling unit that is the size of a small humidifier that is disguised in a bassinet. A cuddle cot gives families the gift of time, allowing their precious angels(s) to be at their bedside during their hospital stay. Or, funds will assist in building a labor and delivery suite designed specifically for families who will not be taking their babies home.

This year's event will have a virtual or in-person option.
