Dr. Nancy Law was a physician at Connecticut Children's Medical Center whose true passion was caring for children and families. Knowing that sometimes it took more than just medical care to raise a healthy child, her team was instrumental in identifying opportunities to provide emotional and financial support to parents when they needed it most.
The range of support varied -from purchasing cribs, clothing or food to assisting parents with utility bills, rent and ways to improve their parenting responsibilities- there was always an immediate impact on the quality of life for the children and familes in her care.
Before she passed away, Nancy established Nancy's Kids Fund to ensure that families would always have access to this most vital, yet basic assistance.
Run for Nancy's Kids is organized by the University of Connecticut Pediatric Residency Program at Connecticut Children's Medical Center. Each year pediatric residents oversee the initiative with support provided from program leadership.
Join us as we celebrate the 13th Annual Run for Nancy's Kids 5K. This scenic paved route through the MDC Reservoir in West Hartford is enjoyable for all ages and skill levels. Bring your strollers and pets (on a leash) too!
The Hartford Track Club will be providing the timing services based on a bib system.
