Event Information

We are running/walking to raise money for a family wanting to adopt a baby from China. Join the fun and help bring Baby Hope HOME to her family.

Somewhere in China a baby girl was abandoned at just 10 days old. This precious little girl has extra digits on both hands, which makes it difficult for her to manoeuvre what comes easily to most. She has been diagnosed with cerebral palsy. And there is a family in St Louis who is working very hard to bring her home. This family is desperately scrambling to raise funds to bring their daughter home so she can be seen by a pediatric neurologist, and she can begin receiving occupational and speech therapy. The resources are so readily available in the US but do not exist in China. Let’s help bring Baby Hope HOME!
