Celebrate Life Virtual 5K Run/Walk

The Celebrate Life Virtual 5K Run/Walk brings together the St. Louis transplant community to honor organ and tissue donors, celebrate new life with recipients, support those waiting for a lifesaving transplant, and inspire others to say “yes” to donation. For the sixth annual event, we will come together online as a community, inspired by the opportunity to raise awareness about organ, tissue, and eye donation. Whether you run or walk in your neighborhood or local park, together, we can share this lifesaving message with even more people.
