Now in its 10th year and once voted the #1 5K by Colorado Runner Magazine readers, The Great Candy Run depends on continued support by many local businesses, including longtime supporters Output Services and Coda Coffee.
Over its 7 years in existence, the event’s beneficiary, the Fetal Health Foundation, has met so many families and businesses directly affected by one or another fetal syndrome. These relationships have created natural sponsorships in helping the families support others.

Having been directly affected by TTTS, the family behind Coda recognizes the value of the information and support that comes from [the Foundation] for families in these terrifying situations,” said Jessica Thwaites, Coda Coffee Administrator. “It is Coda’s dream and hope that fetal syndromes such as TTTS will one day be a thing of the past.”[/blockquote]
