Team Mercy

#MercyEverywhere

2017 will mark the 3rd year TeamMercy.org gathers 12 runners and 6-10 support crew to run 200+ miles in memory of children gone too soon and in honor of their surviving siblings. Each mile run celebrates the life of a siblings loved and cherished. Registering a sibling set is free. (look below for more instructions) If you would like to make a donation in honor of siblings you may do that here as well. Each dollar raised helps support the living siblings through child specific grief resources. TeamMercy sends grief packets and awards Mercy's Gift. Grief packets include: Art with Heart journals, Kids learn about Death and Celebrating Life books, Coloring Books and more. Mercy's Gift is funding for an extracurricular, academy or mental health related activity.

73,00 Children die every year in the United States. Of those children, 83% have surviving siblings.
How this works: Register your family (or a friend's family) as the parent of the children. The form will later ask the children's names, deceased and living. When registering Particpant 1 please list the name of an adult. This adult will be the contact person for the family. It will then ask for names of children. Please list the deceased child first. We ask you to register so we have names spelled correctly, a point of contact for the family/friend, and a way to keep track of all the sibling groups we are running in honor of in one location.
What the runners are doing:
Our team of 12 are running... You are NOT registering to run!
Beginning around 6:00am Friday morning 12 runners and several support crew will begin a 205 mile journey. A test of endurance and fortitude. Each mile is dedicated to a sibling set, where at least one sibling has passed. We run to honor and remember. There is no cost to the families. Follow the adventure on our TeamMercy FB page.

TeamMercy is a 501c3 non-profit foundation supporting siblings in life after loss.
