Footprints Forever 5k and 1 Mile Fun Run 5K Run

Welcome to our 3rd Annual Footprints Forever 5K and 1 mile Race. The race benefits Maddie's Footprints Baton Rouge which is designed to help families in the Greater Baton Rouge Area who have experienced a miscarriage, stillbirth, or loss of a child under one year of age by providing financial and emotional support.

About Maddie's Footprints: 

Maddie’s Footprints was established in January 2010 in memory of Madeline Noelle McGrew. The vision of Maddie’s Footprints is to help families who have experienced miscarriages, stillbirths or the loss of an infant. We help lead these families in the right direction when they are in need of information and/or counseling. We also offer these families financial assistance for end-of-life expenses and/or medical expenses that can be overwhelming during their difficult time.

 With 14 years of experience working with bereaved families in Greater Baton Rouge and Acadiana, we have reached over 2,800 families and have paid out over $1.4 million in financial assistance. We look forward to having your support in continuing to fulfill our mission.
