Welcome to the inaugural BE THE LIGHT 5K RUN/WALK hosted by Fearfully and Wonderfully Made! September is NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, the unit for the super sick babies and babies born prematurely) awareness month, and we want to "shine the light" on all things NICU. The incredible staff, the amazing parents, but most of all, NICU warriors! By participating in the BE THE LIGHT 5K, you will be partnering with Fearfully and Wonderfully Made to help support NICU families through their NICU journey and beyond! This race will start at dusk (7pm) at the CHRISTUS St. Michael Hospital campus in Texarkana, TX and wind through the beautiful Sisters' Trail down Galleria Oaks Drive to Robin Lane and back, ending again at the Christus St. Michael campus once it is dark. Not to worry though! Runners are encouraged to embrace what it means to BE THE LIGHT in the darkness! The more glow the better! Let's show these NICU families that their community is ready to show up and BE THE LIGHT for them
