Founded in 2011 by Mark and Katie Cosmas following the devastating loss of their five-month-old daughter, Taylor Paige, to SIDS, Team Taylor has grown into a powerful force for good. What began as a way for the Cosmas to cope with their grief has blossomed into a movement that has raised over $1 million for SIDS research. The organization\u2019s mission has always been to honor the memory of Taylor and bring together people impacted by similar tragedies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Team Taylor Family Fun Run celebrates life, love, and resilience. It allows individuals and families to join a community united by the shared mission of preventing SIDS and supporting families in their time of need. The 5k run will wind through Arcadia, covering a scenic three-mile route. The event is open to individuals of all ages and abilities, creating a space for everyone to honor Taylor and others impacted by SIDS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
