    Help Arizona residents build a better and brighter future while they journey life with Spina Bifida!

    Spina Bifida is the most common permanently disabling birth condition, yet the state of Arizona does not recognize it as a developmental disability after the age of six. These children experience lack of care continuity, often have as many as 30 surgeries by the age of 15, and are usually full time wheelchair users.

    The Spina Bifida Association of Arizona is an organization that advocates for those with spina bifida as well as brings awareness, provides programs, supplies, and services. One of the services we provide is providing adaptive cycles to children and adults; that is where the proceeds for this event go.

    Heels4Wheels raises funds to assist with costs of bike repair/replacement and the cost of placing a bike. When a child experiences the joy of being active and having freedom to move about on a bike, this will often lead to a more active lifestyle and better health. See more at SBAAZ.org

    Tie up your running shoes and be a part of making it happen in Arizona!

    Children ages 5 and under in a stroller are free and no registration is required. If your children would like the race swag then you will need to register them.

    Event Date: May 16, 2026 • 9 AM to 12 PM

    Join Chasing the Rainbows this Bereaved Mother’s Day weekend for the Busting Bubble 5K Walk & Run, a heartfelt event dedicated to healing, remembrance, and community. Whether you join us in person at one of our many locations or participate virtually, your involvement helps raise awareness and provides vital support for families grieving infertility, pregnancy loss, stillbirth, or infant loss.

    Why Bubbles?

    Bubbles symbolize the many shapes and moments of grief, unexpected, unique, and deeply personal. Just as bubbles reflect rainbows in the light, they remind us of the signs, love, and connections our babies continue to send. These brief glimmers of color reflect the memories that stay with us forever.

    Our Purpose

    To raise awareness and offer essential support to families grieving the unimaginable.

    Your Impact: Supporting 11 Daily, Free, Trauma Informed Services

    By registering, you directly support Chasing the Rainbows’ 11 free services that offer daily, compassionate care. These include virtual support groups held four times a day for a total of eighteen sessions each week, in-person support groups throughout the United States, peer mentors, trauma therapy, the Cry It Out Loud podcast, coping care packages, mindful movement, online private chat communities, resources for family members, perinatal bereavement training for medical units, and community events. These programs ensure that no one has to navigate grief alone.

    A Celebration of Life

    This event is more than a walk or run. It is a joyful and healing gathering filled with live entertainment, vendors, and sponsors. Together, we will celebrate the lives of the little ones we carry in our hearts and the strength of those who love them.

    The Wall to Remember

    We will feature a Wall to Remember, a touching tribute honoring babies gone too soon. It offers a space for reflection, connection, and remembrance.

    Get Involved

    You can make an even greater impact by becoming a donor, personal sponsor, or company sponsor. Your generosity helps sustain the services families rely on every day. To get involved or volunteer, contact us at info@chasingtherainbows.org or visit chasingtherainbows.org. Every step taken, every bubble released, and every story shared helps bring healing and hope. Register today and help us honor, remember, and support families on this meaningful day.
