Fancy Prance

Inspired by Esther's gift of friendship and love of all things fun and fancy, every step helps us address the often unmet critical needa of children facing long-term hospitalizations and their families.

Participants can join us virtually and choose from:

• 5K Run: This distance represents the journey from Esther's home to Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago, where she received much of her care. Every step honors Esther's strength and the countless families making similar journeys.

• 1-Mile Walk: A distance everyone can enjoy! Whether you're walking with family, pushing a stroller, rolling in a wheelchair, or taking your dog along, the 1-Mile option is a fun way for participants of all ages and abilities to make an impact.

• Kid Dash: Inspired by Esther's joyful spirit, the Kid Dash gives our youngest supporters a chance to be part of the fun. Even the smallest steps can make a difference!

Grab your sneakers and add a little sparkle. Wear something silly. Run or walk with your favorite accessory. Celebrate in a way that makes you smile - because every Fancy Prance step makes a difference in the lives of Esther's pediatric inpatient friends!

Don't forget to invite your friends! The Fancy Prance is even more fun together.
