Race Description
The 5k Run/Walk event named 'Leif's Legacy' is set to take place in Sea Isle City, New Jersey on October 13, 2024. This charity run aims to raise awareness for premature birth, pregnancy loss, and infant death, honoring the memory of Leif Aleutian, who passed away shortly after birth. Organized by the Leif Aleutian Foundation, the event invites community participation to support this important cause.
Participants can register for the event through the official website, with proceeds benefiting local medical facilities that provide care for premature infants. The foundation was established by Brian and Jen Larsen, whose personal experience with infant loss drives the mission of the event. The organization also aims to educate the public about the frequency of infant loss, which affects 1 in 4 women.
