The Big Smiles 5K Run/Walk was started in honor of Kristen Heimbach who was tragically killed in a car accident in 2008. Kristen was a Special Education teacher in New Buffalo, Michigan and Michigan City, Indiana. Proceeds from the race are donated to the Dreaming Big Fund and to the Logan Center in South Bend, Indiana to help children with special needs, especially those with autism. Kristen was an amazing person with an infectious smile and personality, we are honored to be running for her and such a great cause.
