At its heart, The 10.15 Project is about connection.

Connection between families who understand loss. Connection through shared stories, remembrance, and support. Connection that reminds grieving parents they are not alone.

By bringing people together across communities and across the state, we're creating a network of support that honors every baby and every family's journey.

Meet Our Runner | Brittney Kingsley

Brittney lives in Fargo with her husband, Justin, and their daughters, Abigail and Emmy. A lifelong runner and former Concordia College track and cross country athlete, she now teaches for West Fargo Public Schools and helps families plan Disney vacations through Marvelous Mouse Travels.

This year, Brittney is running with The 10.15 Project in memory of her niece, Alivia Plutowski. Born with a congenital heart defect, Alivia spent her entire 13-month life in the hospital before passing away in 2015. Though her life was short, her impact on her family continues to be lasting and profound.

Through friends and families who have experienced pregnancy and infant loss, Brittney has seen firsthand the importance of remembrance, connection, and community. She is honored to run in support of a cause that ensures these babies are never forgotten.

Thank you, Brittney, for running in honor of Alivia and helping us carry her memory forward. Click the link below to learn more about Brittney.

1 in 4 pregnancies ends in loss. Thousands of families experience infant loss each year.

These are more than statistics. They are beloved children, grieving families, and stories that deserve to be remembered. Through The 10.15 Project, we honor their lives, raise awareness, and support those carrying a loss that lasts a lifetime.
