On June 6 hundreds of participants gathered at the Farmers’ Market in downtown Jackson for the Heaven’s Cradle Twilight Run and Downtown Rendezvous. The Twilight run is a special occasion to honor and remember the children of bereaved families and is Heaven’s Cradles largest fundraiser.  

The 5K and 1-mile run/walk is an annual event with dinner and entertainment at the AMP. Participants of all ages enjoyed the time walking/running to remember those families affected by perinatal loss.

Heaven’s Cradle offers comfort, assistance, keepsakes, support information, and specialized training for clinical staff working with grieving families. For more information, visit heavenscradle.org.
