Registration is now open for the 5th Annual Charlee’s Run.
Once again, the run will be taking place virtually to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Charlee’s Run is an annual fundraising event named in honour of Charlee Clare Holmes, who passed away in 2011 only a few hours after birth. Her parents, Dave and Mallory Holmes, started the run as a way to end the silence surrounding pregnancy and infant loss.
To date, the event has raised more than $185,000 for paediatric and neonatal needs at Orillia Soldiers’ Memorial Hospital.
This year, participants are invited to run or walk along any route for any distance on May 8, 2021.
Festivities will kick off at 9:45 a.m. on the official Charlee’s Run Facebook page with a virtual Bubble Ceremony to celebrate the lives of all the little ones taken too soon.
