We run so our angels can fly.
The 8th Annual Angel Dash will support the ongoing mission of Rachel's Gift. Since 2008, Rachel's Gift has collaborated with hospitals to provide infant bereavement services for mothers and families, developed a comprehensive training course for hospital staff, and offered pregnancy and infant loss support groups. The Angel Dash brings together families who have experienced loss, their caregivers, our network of dedicated volunteers, members of our extended community, and veteran and beginner runners. Join us this year as we continue to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of Rachel's Gift.
