Join us at Healing Heart Hustle 5K!
Lace up your shoes and join us for the 2nd annual Healing Heart Hustle 5K to raise funds for Erin's House for Grieving Children. This heartfelt and family-fun remembrance run/walk is taking place locally in Fort Wayne, Indiana on Sunday, August 30 at PFW.
All proceeds benefit Erin's House, which offers free peer-support services to children, teen, and their families who have experienced a death. Can’t make it in person? No problem—sign up as a virtual participant and be part of the mission from anywhere.
Everyone is welcome, whether you’ve experienced a death or simply want to join in a meaningful, family-friendly community event. At the Healing Heart Hustle 5K, we're celebrating memories and creating new ones while supporting Erin's House.

Custom Memorial Yard Signs
Add on a Memorial Sign in honor of your loved ones to be displayed along the Healing Heart Hustle race path. Submit a photo of your person along with a short tribute message. These signs serve as a touching tribute during the event and will be yours to take home after the race.
If you’ve purchased a Memorial Sign in the past, we’d love to include it in this year’s race! Please drop it off at Erin’s House anytime between August 1 and August 28, and we’ll place it along the 2026 race route.
