Alex's
Run For A Reason is a 2-mile family fun run/walk to be held at Newbridge Road
Park in Bellmore.  In addition to the the run/walk - light breakfast
refreshments will be served, there will be fun children's activities and an
extensive raffle drawing. 



Alex
(who lived in Merrick with her parents) was an adorable, smart, happy,
adventurous 22-month old who brought so much joy to everyone that new
her.  She was on the verge of so many new adventures and
accomplishments.   Tragically, her life was cut way to short. 
On February 5, 2006 Alex's parents lives were changed forever.  Alex never
woke up.  To this day the cause of her death is still unknown.



By
hosting Alex's Run For A Reason it is her parents goal to someday prevent the
tragedy of Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood (SUDC) for future families and
to raise awareness and funds for the SUDC Program in Alex's honor.
