Graeme’s Run returns for 10th year to raise funds for research on congenital heart defects

Posted

The Graeme McDaniel Foundation's tenth annual Graeme's Run will take place on February 22 at No Label Brewery at 5351 First Street in Katy with registration starting at 7:30 a.m. followed by the run at 8:30 a.m. The family-friendly event – scheduled during Heart Month – features a 5K run and a one-mile walk starting and ending at the brewery.

Participants can expect to enjoy lots of fun family activities, live music, and generously donated food and drinks from local restaurants. Activities include face painting, balloon art, raffles and a silent auction.

“We know everyone loves a good fun run, especially one that is close to home and brings awareness and funds to such a great cause,” said Stephanie McDaniel, Graeme's mom and CEO of The Graeme McDaniel Foundation. “After losing our heart warrior to congenital heart defects, we decided to have a family run/walk to celebrate our angel and make a difference. Our 8th Annual Graeme’s Run had over 1,800 participants attend and $200,000 was raised! The continued support of many giving sponsors makes Graeme’s Run a success.”

Congenital heart defects affect one in every 100 babies, McDaniel said. Graeme lost his battle at just two and a half years of age, according to the foundation’s website.
