Join hundreds of walkers and supporters to collectively bring awareness to this very important cause. There currently isn’t a cure for SIDS and evidence is unknown as to why children suddenly die. Therefore, it is so imperative to fund research being conducted at BC Children’s Hospital while bringing together families and caregivers who have been affected or are involved with SIDS.

Who: Steps for SIDS is open to the public and is intended for all ages. Participants are encouraged to register before or at the event and fundraise or make a donation.
Why & Cause: Event organizers, Rob & Tanya Gill, have made it their mission to create an annual event in memory of their late son Azaan Singh Gill who passed away from SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome).
