KALAMAZOO, Mich. — People in West Michigan will be pounding the pavement to bring awareness to pregnancy and infant loss in Kalamazoo this weekend.

One of the nonprofits this year includes Amos Anchors, which was started by Biehl. It's a Kalamazoo based organization.
The 5K is Saturday morning. You can register on the day of with registration starting at 8:30 a.m. The race starts at 10 a.m., followed by a ceremony of remembrance at 11:30 a.m.
