Meet Our Recipient: the Late Mrs. Heidi Boudreaux and Her Family
In keeping with tradition, we are excited and proud to host the 46th annual Femmes Natales Runabout on Saturday, October 4th, 2025. This year’s benefactor of the proceeds raised through this event is the late Mrs. Heidi Boudreaux and her Family.
Heidi resided in Houma. She was married to Wayne Boudreaux and had three beautiful children, Aidan, Ashtin, and Austin. Heidi, who was initially a hairdresser, went back to school at Nicholls State University to pursue nursing. Heidi graduated with her Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree in 2021. In the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic, Heidi started her nursing career in the Critical Care Unit at Thibodaux Regional Health Systems. Heidi thrived as bedside critical care nurse, and with her compassionate, positive spirit, she would easily put a smile on any sick patient’s face and put them at ease.
At forty- four years old and just six months after starting her nursing career, Heidi was diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer. She received six rounds of chemotherapy, underwent surgery, and received three more rounds of chemotherapy. After one year of remission, a recurrence of her cancer was found in July of 2024. Since then, Heidi has undergone more chemotherapy and a clinical trial at MD Anderson Hospital in Houston. Heidi took a step back from her nursing career to focus on her health.
Heidi was so honored and thankful to be this year's Runabout recipient. Unfortunately after a courageous battle with cancer, Heidi passed away on May 9th, 2025. This year's race will be in loving memory of the beautiful life she lived. All proceeds from this year's event will go directly to her family, who still carry the financial burden from her medical treatments.
The ladies of Femmes Natales welcomes you to honor the legacy of Heidi Boudreaux as this year's 46th Runabout recipient. Please mark your calendars for October 4th, 2025 for a day of celebrating Heidi's beautiful life through running, walking, food, drinks, music, and more! Your contribution to this cause is sincerely appreciate, and we cannot wait to see you there!
