Join us on Sunday, August 9, at Otsego County Park at 10am for a memorial walk in honor of Cole. Cole passed away suddenly and unexpectedly at the age of 2. His death was categorized as Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood (SUDC). This special event will honor Cole’s memory, raise awareness of SUDC, and support the mission of the SUDC Foundation.
The morning will begin with a 1-mile walk along a paved walking path, followed by refreshments and fun, kid-friendly activities
A registration fee of $20 for all participants over the age of 5 will be donated directly to the SUDC Foundation.
Can't attend the walk in person? You can still be part of honoring Cole by donating (click Donate above) or registering as a fundraiser (click Become A Fundraiser above). Create a personal fundraising page, share Cole’s story with friends and family, and help raise critical funds to support SUDC research, family services, and awareness efforts. Every donation helps advance the SUDC Foundation’s mission and ensures that families affected by SUDC receive support at no cost.
The SUDC Foundation is the leading organization serving families and professionals worldwide. Its mission is to raise awareness, fund research, and provide support to those affected by Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood (SUDC).
