This race is our biggest fundraiser of the year. Alison Marie Helms Ph.D. | Women’s Strength & Running Coach hosts this each year to honor her daughter, Charlotte, who was diagnosed with trisomy 13 and lived 6, love filled days.
Many parents are first introduced to their baby’s diagnosis as “incompatible with life.” While this diagnosis is in fact life-limiting, these babies are compatible with life and worthy of celebration.
Race, run for fun, walk or just donate for Trisomy 13 and Trisomy 18 awareness and help raise funds for The Stella Effect.
**This year, upon registration, you have the option of participating as part of a team and collecting donations as a team! OR you can create your own personal fundraising page. Let’s maximize our fundraising for The Stella Effect and the families they support!**
Let’s change the narrative for trisomy 13 and 18 together.
