Run Free Missouri
Run Free Missouri
May 23 - 30, 2019
THE PLAN
On May 23, 2019 I, along with my support crew, started from Kansas City, MO toward St. Louis. Midwestern storms and flooded out roads quickly made us change our route, pushing north to finish at Hannibal, MO on May 30, 2019.
THE CAUSE(S)
We raised money for Infant Loss Resources, a small Missouri-based non-profit that seeks to provide grief counseling and support after a sudden infant loss and to educate caretakers on safe sleep practices. As part of their prevention program, they provide "pack and play" sleep systems to those parents without cribs, providing safe sleep options.
I chose ILR in honor of Pierce Brown, the son of a childhood friend (Mikka) who passed suddenly in June of 2017. Mikka found support in Infant Loss Resources during the worst time of her life. $65 purchases one pack and play for a family. We raised enough money for 20 pack and plays.
