A Northeast Wisconsin family is sharing their story, after losing a precious baby to SIDS. Kendyn Neal Blaser was a very happy and healthy 3 month-old baby boy. On January 3, 2016, Kendyn’s family experienced every parent’s worst fear; they lost Kendyn to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).
Now the family is on a mission to help others. On September 24, 2016 Kendyn’s family is hosting the first 5k run/walk to support SIDS/SUID research in Kendyn’s memory.
The event will begin at 9:00 a.m. and will be held at Pamperin Park in Green Bay.
100% of the proceeds of the day’s event will be donated to the CJ Foundation for SIDS (www.cjsids.org).
Kendyn’s parents have been personally touched by the CJ Foundation’s affiliated support organization called: Angel Eyes (http://angeleyes.org/) located in their current home state of Colorado.
