Event summary
Join us for the inspiring "Living for Lyndi" virtual race taking place from August 3rd to August 31st, 2025, in Kalamazoo. This heartfelt event is dedicated to raising awareness about congenital heart disease (CHD) and celebrating the life of Lyndi, a brave little girl who found joy in every moment despite her health challenges. Participants can run, walk, or jog at their own pace, making this an inclusive event for everyone.
As we honor Lyndi's legacy, proceeds from the race will benefit Jack and Lyndi's Fairytale Foundation, a nonprofit organization committed to supporting families facing challenges in the hospital. Since its inception, the foundation has provided over 100 care packages and comfort items to families in need, reinforcing the message that even the smallest gestures can make a significant impact.

Organiser's Description
Lyndi was a little girl born with congenital heart disease. Despite spending so much time in the hospital battling her disease, she lived a full life and found joy in the little things. Her and her mom enjoyed spending time outside and running together. On April 1, 2024, Lyndi finished her battle with CHD and passed peacefully in her mom's arms at home. This virtual race is to raise awareness about CHD, honor Lyndi's life, and to remember to find joy in the little things.
Proceeds from this race will go towards Jack and Lyndi's Fairytale Foundation, a 501c3 nonprofit organization started in honor of Lyndi and her best friend Jack to help provide hope and support to families living in the hospital. Since it's beginning in the summer of 2024, we have donated over 100 care packages to caregivers, 50 warmies to provide comfort to patients, and 50 hair care kits for patients with curly and textured hair. We hope to provide more adaptable clothing, more warmies, squeaky shoes, and other packages for caregivers. As two parents that lived their lives with their babies in the hospital, the little things can sometimes make all the difference in reminding us that we aren't alone.
