is proud to announce...

2nd ANNUAL BABY JOEY SIDS RUN FOR LIFE 5K RUN/WALK

MARCH 13, 2010

Constitution Park 1287 Paseo Camarillo, Camarillo

On August 23, 2007, Baby Joey was born. A healthy baby girl full of love and a future ahead of her. She brought so much meaning in everyone's lives and many families and friends became close because of her. She taught her big sister Angelica the true meaning of LOVE.

On March 10, 2008, Baby Joey passed away from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) at the age of 6 months old. She was never given the chance to take her first step. We will never see her experience so many thing in life. This is because of a tragedy that we do not know what cause it.

Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) is the most common cause of death for babies between the ages of one month and one year. It is the sudden death of an infant under one year of age that remains unexplained after a thorough case investigation, including a complete autopsy, examination of death scene, and review of the clinical history. Although figures differ, at least 2,500 babies in the United States die from SIDS each year.

Please help us find the answers as to why our Baby Joey had gone too soon. We will never see her grow up and experience life..Her love and life have encouraged us to be better people and not to take anything or anyone for granted. Her story has taught us that love is amazing, loss is devastating and family and friends are everything.

I fancied that I heard them say, "Dear Lord, Thy will be done, for all the joy this child shall bring, the risk of grief we'll run. We'll love her while we may, and for the happiness we've known forever grateful stay. But should the angels call her much sooner than we planned, We'll brave the bitter grief that comes, and try to understand."
