The Cade Foundation’s Maryland Race for the Family, hosted by Shady Grove Fertility, is our 5k run/walk that celebrates the strength and courage it takes to OVERCOME infertility. All proceeds from the event fund Family Building Grants that help others afford the costs associated with fertility treatment or adoption.

*OPENING CEREMONIES WILL BEGIN AT 8:30A EST*

What is it? Run (or walk… no judgment 😉 This is a 5k or 1 mile virtual race to raise awareness about infertility and to provide support to families with infertility. We celebrate ALL pathways to parenthood and want all families to feel welcomed and supported. Join us as we celebrate and spread the message that infertility can be OVERCOME!

How do we participate? Since the event is VIRTUAL- you can walk- run- hop- spin or move however you’d like- and wherever you like. We just ask that you move either 5k (3.2 miles) or 1 mile AND that you share how and where and how long it took for you to complete your Race for the Family.

Where? The event is VIRTUAL so you can pick the place! Your home- your neighborhood- a local park- or even a place you’d like to visit.
