John’s Baby Steps is about family and remembering the angels watching over us…and to raise money to execute the charity’s mission: helping families to prevent & cope with infant and young child loss. This includes providing families with keepsakes & putting defibrillators in our local schools. 

**New this year we are encouraging runners & walker to gather your co-workers, friends & family to form a team. The team or person who raises the most money through registrations & donations will win a party! This will include a Party Sub, Chips & Pop. It is easy to register, simply go to johnscharity.org. 

We hope to see you early Saturday, October 4th! Thank you for supporting John’s Charity & all the angel families who join us!
