MomForward5K Childcare Grants will be awarded to individuals participating in the 2024 MomForward5K event, either in person or virtually. While these moms may not be professional athletes, the narrative too often remains that they can't fully participate in events like this due to the burden of childcare or the guilt of taking time "for themselves."
