All are welcome to join the Treasure Valley Idaho community for the 7th Annual Run in Her Shoes Memorial In-Person & Virtual 5K & 10K Walk/Run, honoring women and families affected by infertility, pregnancy loss, and infant loss. This meaningful event begins May 3rd (International Bereaved Mother’s Day) with an in-person gathering in Boise, Idaho, and continues through May 15th with flexible virtual participation options. Whether attending locally or walking from anywhere, participants help raise awareness and support for families whose experiences of Mother’s Day may look different. Proceeds from registration and donations will support three important organizations providing bereavement care, mental health support, and training: SHARE for Pregnancy and Infant Loss Support, Postpartum Support International, & The TEARS Foundation. Over the past six years, this event has raised more than $7,500 to support families navigating loss—including funding a special remembrance camera for the Boise SHARE chapter. Participants can walk or run loops around Esther Simplot Pond (1 mile each). Strollers and wagons are welcome. Friendship Island serves as a symbolic reminder that no one walks this path alone. Participants are encouraged to share stories, photos, and reflections in the event Facebook group for a chance to be entered into a prize drawing. https://www.facebook.com/groups/runinhershoes Learn more or register at: www.tinyurl.com/RIHS2026  🕯️Join the International 'Wave of Light' on Wednesday, October 15th, at 7:00 PM local time. 🕯️
