Description

_ The 2nd Annual Hope Mommies West TX 5K/ 1 Mile Fun Run:

Hope Mommies is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization that supports women and families who have lost a child at any stage of pregnancy and up to two years of age. We are founded on the belief that we will see our children again in Heaven based on our faith in Jesus Christ and His sacrifice for us. Chances are you or someone you know has experienced losing a baby. Women need support to lift them up as they walk through this unexplainable grief. Hope Mommies reaches out to these moms in a number of ways and has already changed hundreds of lives throughout the nation. You can find out more about this ministry here: hopemommies.org

The Hope Mommies WTX 5k/1 mile fun run is a fundraiser to support the local chapter of Hope Mommies in West Texas serving the major and smaller cities around Abilene, San Angelo, Midland/Odessa, and Lubbock. Our mission is to bring the hope of Christ to mothers grieving pregnancy and infant loss locally in West Texas and to let families know they are not alone. Our event will also be a memorial to all the babies and children who have gone to heaven too soon. To find out more about what we do locally check out our chapter FB page here: facebook.com/HMWestTexas

This is our second event of this nature for the West Texas Chapter. Last year's event was a huge success and we hope to continue this event into the future. The event will take place in Abilene, Texas on the beautiful campus of Abilene Christian University. It will include a Friday Night Fellowship with dinner, worship, and a guest speaker for hope moms the night before the race as well.
