Cuddles of Hope Virtual 5k is a fundraiser for the Cuddles of Hope Foundation which is a nonprofit organization that donates new stuffed animals to children in uncomfortable and frightening situations. The organization donates to children's hospitals, homelss shelters, group homes as well as first responders to keep on hand such as police officers, firetrucks and ambulances.
All runners will be paying a $40 registration fee and will receive items such as a medal, t-shirt and other items that may be donated. The event is virtual which means runners can participate at any time from October 10th through the 12th at a location they want to run or walk the 3.1 miles.
The event is supporting a 501c3 organization that has helped comfort many children is stressful situations. Raising funds for the organization will help children across the United States get a new stuffed friend to help them through some difficult times.
My name is Amy and I started the Cuddles of Hope Foundation in June 2018. My son who was only 2 years old was hurt and rushed to the hospital and required surgery on his eye. This was a very scary situation and since it was an emergency, we were not prepared for the trip to the hospital. Lucas only had a towel stained in his blood from his eye to hold onto while he was being looked at by nurses and doctors. After this situation, I wanted to make sure that children in any type of frightening experience can have a sense of normalcy and comfort when receiving a stuffed animal.
