Alex (who lived in Merrick with her parents) was an adorable, smart, happy, adventurous 22-month old who brought so much joy to everyone that knew her. She was on the verge of so many new adventures and accomplishments when, tragically, her life was cut way to short. On February 5, 2006 Alex's parents lives were changed forever. Alex never woke up. To this day, the cause of her death is still unknown.
By hosting Alex's Run For A Reason, it is her parents' goal to someday prevent the tragedy of Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood (SUDC) for future families and to raise awareness and funds for the SUDC Program in Alex's honor.
