Run for the Angels- 5K Fun Run
Join us for the 9th annual “Run for the Angels Fun Run and Family Day”(run, jog, or however you roll)! You can also join us VIRUTALLY! Our walk is to join together and remember all children who have died suddenly and unexpectedly, raise awareness of pregnancy, infant and child loss and provide a day to enjoy your family and friends. Proceeds benefit the emotional support programs of Northwest Infant Survival and SIDS Alliance.

Be sure to arrive at noon and visit our sponsor booths between 12 PM and 2 pm. An emotional support area complete with stations where you can create a luminary will also be available at this time.
The silent auction will be online this year! This is a great way to support NISSA and bring home a fun auction item! We will email out link when it's available. If you would like to donate an auction item, email Sadie at sadie@nwsids.org
The fun run will start at 2:30 PM for registered participants. You can come down and walk the course (all or part) at your leisure. Our remembrance ceremony will be from 2-2:30 PM at the picnic shelter. We will also be streaming the ceremony so you can watch on Facebook too!

Have no fear, the trail will be clearly marked so you will not get lost. There are about 130 signs along the route with photos honoring our children.
