The 10th Annual Alex's Run For A Reason to be held on Sunday, October 23, 2016 is a 2-mile family fun run/walk at Newbridge Road Park in Bellmore. In addition to 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 parent’s 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 parent’s 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 Foundation. To date over $300,000 has been raised in Alex’s honor.
