Indoor Walk Saturday In Honor Of Holmdel Toddler

HOLMDEL, NJ — There will be a three-mile indoor walk this Saturday, March 30 at Bell Works in memory of a Holmdel toddler who died suddenly — and for no explained reason — two years ago.

Two-year-old Vienna Savino died on Nov. 12, 2017 due to a category of death called SUDC, Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood. You can read this article Patch wrote about her death: Holmdel Family Raises Awareness Of SUDC After Toddler Girl Dies

Vienna died when she was just shy of 3 years old. She had a light fever that morning, and then that evening simply fell asleep and never woke up, her mother told Patch in the earlier article.

To this day, there still remains no explanation for what caused the otherwise healthy little girl to die, even after an autopsy, medical record review and genetic studies were done. Vienna's parents are both doctors, as well.

The Savino family, who live in Holmdel, now have a mission to raise awareness and research for SUDC. The walk will be from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday and it's a three-mile course inside the labyrinth of Bell Works. So far, about 150 people have signed up.

Tickets are $25. You can purchase tickets here or just show up Saturday morning for the walk.

Beginning at 10 a.m. at Bell Works, there will be:

• An opening message from Dr. Denise Wunderler (Vienna’s mom, Founder/President of Team Vienna 4 SUDC Awareness Inc., USA Volleyball/FIVB Team Physician)
• A 3-mile indoor walk
• Team Vienna t-shirt for each registered walker
• Swag bag from Bell Works businesses
• A special drawing for a designer handbag from the Lauren Farrell NY Vienna Collection
• Music by Incredible Soundz Entertainment, waffles by The Waffle Cabin, balloon animals and card tricks
