Grand Lake Health System held their 13th annual SIDS Awareness 5K in St. Marys Saturday morning.  

October 10, 2024, Press Release from by Grand Lake Health System: Helping to educate the community about Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and the ways to help prevent SIDS is the main focus for the Grand Lake Health Systems annual 5K run-walk that is being held this weekend, Saturday, October 12th, at Mill Park Shelter House. When Landen Philpot passed away at less than three months of age from SIDS, his family would have no idea how his short time on Earth would help to provide education and scholarship opportunities for so many in the community. The SIDS Awareness 5K was started to honor Landen, whose father was an employee of Joint Township District Memorial Hospital at the time of Landen’s passing. Employees wanted a way to honor Landen and provide valuable education about SIDS to the community.
