3. What Does Pledging to the Run Mean, Exactly?
By committing to this event, and pledging to raise money for its success, you are helping raise invaluable funds to support stillbirth awareness, research, education, advocacy & family support. We encourage every participant to raise a minimum of $100
 
We are dedicated to this mission and all proceeds raised from the event will allow us to build on the numerous programs we currently offer. With your support, we can make a difference by supporting bereaved families, encouraging and supporting research and education. 
 
We wish you all the success possible. Train, set and achieve new goals, enjoy the race… and get all the sponsors you can, so when you cross that finish line, we will all be winners – you, and all families that have lost a child to stillbirth and all families in the future hoping to bring home beautiful, healthy and happy babies.
