Thanks for checking out Baby Steps 5k Memorial. All proceeds raised will be donated to the Amelia Center in Birmingham which has served as a place of hope for grieving children, parents and families for the past twelve years. The Amelia Center offers free grief counseling not only to parents and grandparents who have lost children, but also to children who have lost loved ones. The center operates by donations and it is programs like this that are vital to many people here in our communities. For more information on the Amelia Center visit www.ameliacenter.org

This program is dear to our hearts as we have recently lost our precious babies. Abby and Cary Nicholas lost twin boys, Braden and Brody at 22 weeks due to unexplained preterm labor in April 2008. Loni and Justin Hodge lost their daughter, Maddox Elise, at 28 weeks due to Triploidy in February 2009. This race was set up to remember Braden, Brody, and Maddox Elise and the lives of all other children that left this world too soon.

We would like to thank you in advance for your consideration and support to make the race a success!
