*UPDATE* The race is over and everyone crossed the finish line (be it 5K or the 13-Miler)!! THANK YOU all for all of your love and support, honoring Tylor and supporting a great cause at the same time. We look forward to making this an annual event! THANK YOU!!***
As many of you know, last November, we lost our almost 13 month old son Tylor Frank Pupecki suddenly and unexpectedly. Tylor, a happy and apparently healthy, chunky little guy, went to bed as usual, but passed away during his sleep. To this date, there are still questions surrounding his death, and his case has been submitted for review to the SUDC's research study.
Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood (SUDC) is an organization that lends a variety of support to families who have suffered the unexplained death of a child over the age of 12 months, including an ongoing research project to try to find some cause or connection in those children who have died after 1 year of age. Younger unexplained deaths are often referred to as Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). The SUDC organization is a program of the CJ foundation for SIDS. To learn more about SUDC you can click to visit www.sudc.org.
We are running the half marathon in Tylor's memory with the goal of raising $13,013 for SUDC (he was almost 13 months, the race is on the 13th, it's 13 miles). Your sponsorship will help our team to reach this goal.
We appreciate your taking the time to read about our handsome little man who we miss so dearly every minute of every day. If you are so compelled please give a donation of any size. Every bit will be greatly appreciated. If you would rather not pay online, we can accept checks or money orders made out to:
The CJ foundation for SIDS/SUDC Program and mailed to our home address below.
May God Bless you and keep you healthy!!
With one month left until the race, and with so much generosity of family and friends, we met our original goal of $5013 and secondary goal of $10,013 and have reset our goal!! Thank you to everyone for your support!!
