This is our 2nd annual Tiny Footprints Remembrance 5K! Our first year was incredibly successful and we can't wait to see the turn out this year!

In May of 2023, we unexpectedly and tragically lost one of our twin babies, Piper, in utero at 31 weeks. I was placed on constant monitoring and bedrest until our survivor, Juniper, was safely delivered 10 days following and spent 29 days in the NICU. This pain was and is incomprehensible, and no parent should ever have to go through it. Sadly, the rates of miscarriages, neonatal loss, and infant loss are higher than most think, and it's something that isn't often talked about, as grieving, especially grieving a child, is a taboo subject in our culture. When we were going through this nightmare, it helped to have support of individuals who have had similar experiences as well support from the staff at the hospital, both in labor and delivery and in the NICU. Our goal with this race is to honor our daughter and the other babies who never got to come earth side, and those who left earth far too soon. Proceeds will fund our upcoming non-profit organization, Tiny Footprints Remembrance Foundation, in order to support the Covenant NICU, the bereavement program at Covenant called Noah's Footprints who creates mementos for grieving parents and helps with support, as well as creating "care kits" to give to local hospital and OB offices to help support mothers going through miscarriages. With this race, we hope to do our part in erasing the stigma of grieving and allow parents and loved ones a safe and supported space to honor their babies. Thank you so much for joining and supporting us.
