LifeShare Foundation Hosts 5K to Honor, Remember and Give Hope
Oklahoma non-profit gears up for 1 Mile Walk and USATF Certified Race on November 6

Hundreds of participants will fill the trails near Lake Hefner November 6 to run and walk with a purpose to celebrate the gift of life.
The LifeShare Foundation is hosting their fourth annual ‘Little Red Heart’ 5K Run and 1 Mile walk as they continue raising awareness and providing education on the importance of being an organ donor.
The event honors those who have received the gift of life through organ and tissue donation, remembers those who were organ and tissue donors and gives hope to thousands who wait on a lifesaving transplant.
The Little Red Heart event on Saturday will not only include the 1 Mile Walk and USATF Certified 5K Race, but will also be a family-friendly event with kids activities, music and prizes. Each entry to the Little Red Heart run includes a t-shirt and breakfast.
“The Little Red Heart Run is an incredible celebration of our community members who have been touched by organ and tissue donation,” said Jeffrey Orlowski, President and CEO of LifeShare. “The support, dedication and hope for our participants, volunteers, transplant recipients, donor families and community partners is inspirational.”
Last year, LifeShare saved more lives than ever before -- making 508 transplants possible. Tissue donation also restored health to more than 60,000 people.
Today, there are 106,000 people waiting for a transplant across the nation, but one organ donor can save eight lives and one tissue donor can restore health to more than 75 others.
Online registration for the Little Red Heart Run will remain open through the event opening. On-site registration and packet pick up will begin at 7:00 AM on November 6 at Stars and Stripes Park. LifeShare invites the public and media to attend the event, which begins at 9:00 AM. For more information about organ donation or the Little Red Heart Run, visit LifeShareOKFoundation.org.

The 2022 float features stylized Venetian colonnades, inspired by the Palazzo Ducale or Doges’ Palace in Venice. These ornate porticos will be adorned with memorial floral portraits, honoring the gift of life and hope given by organ, eye and tissue donors. Venice’s quintessential gondolas will carry organ, eye and tissue recipients, as they continue sailing in their life journey, thanks to their donors’ gifts. Living donors and recipients will walk alongside the float. A lush dedication garden features individually dedicated roses and will complete the beautiful Venetian scene, along with blue and white waves, representing the flowing Venice canals.
