Josh and Gus's Run For A Reason

2008 Josh and Gus's Run For a Reason

Sunday, September 21, 2008

Please join us for the 5th Annual Josh and Gus’s Run For a Reason on Sunday, September 21, 2008 at Clement Park in Littleton, CO. The whole family will enjoy a USATF-certified 5K Run or 2K Family Fitness Walk, fun kids' activities, a silent auction, music and great food! Events and registration begin at 8:30am.

Tami and Jake Gove and Lunden and Patrick MacDonald are hosting the event in honor of their sons, Josh and Gus. Josh and Gus were normal, healthy 15- and 18-month-old toddlers who died in their sleep in 2003. Their deaths were ruled Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood (SUDC), a cousin of SIDS that affects children after their first birthday.

Money raised will go to fund research and other support services in the area of SUDC. The SUDC Program is part of the CJ Foundation for SIDS-a national health organization leading the fight against SIDS and SUDC.
