## Description

This October, BARE Inc. is partnering once again with Colleen's BA5K to bring our community together — wherever you are — for a virtual 5K in honor of Liver Disease Awareness Month.

Run it, walk it, or do it as a family. There's no set course or start time — just commit to completing a 5K anytime during October, on your own schedule, in your own neighborhood.

This event is about more than miles. Every participant helps us raise awareness and funds for biliary atresia (BA), the leading cause of pediatric liver transplants and a disease with no known cause or cure. Gather your family and friends, take on the challenge together, and help us educate your community about BA while supporting BARE's mission — from research to newborn screening advocacy to family support programs.

How it works:

Register below and receive your official BA5K bib/shirt (if applicable — add fulfillment details)
Complete your 5K anytime in October, anywhere — track your own route
Share your run/walk on social media and tag @bareinc_org to help spread awareness
100% of proceeds support BARE's mission for the biliary atresia community

Together, we're turning steps into support for kids and families facing biliary atresia.
