Please join us on Sunday, June 8th, at the beautiful Millennium Park for the Ele's Place - West Michigan Healing Hearts 5K!
Let's "Run for Kid's Grief Relief" in this brand-new event that will raise funds and awareness for grieving children, teens and their families in Grand Rapids and the surrounding West Michigan area.
