    Hi friends! I’m Aria!

    I would have turned 5 this April, and I wanted to celebrate my birthday in the best way ... what’s better than a birthday run? Its a birthday run and a lot of smiles!

    This is my 5K — a little race full of love, laughter, and light. You can run, jog, walk, twirl… or even skip like I would have! Every step you take is a giggle, a hug for me and a hug from me to you or a high-five in my memory.

    The best part? The money we raise will go to Pepper’s Ranch Foster Care Community to help all the foster kids who, live there and learn so many awesome things!

    You can join me in Oklahoma City or run anywhere in the world — pajamas, sneakers, or fairy wings are totally allowed. Let’s make my 5th birthday sparkle with love and laughter — and maybe a little bit of mud on our shoes!

    -Aria
