About the Event

Join us on April 18 at Lenoir Community College for the EPIC Center’s Walk 4 Life and 5K! This event offers a chance to get active while supporting the EPIC Center’s mission of offering life-affirming support and care to women facing unexpected pregnancies. Our goal is to bring our community together to stand for life, support the unborn, and walk alongside courageous mothers who have chosen life for their babies.

The Event begins at 8:00 AM with opening ceremonies. The 5K will start at the conclusion of the opening ceremonies, and the 1-mile walk will begin around 8:30. 

By walking with us, you’re sending a powerful message that life matters and that no one walks alone in their journey of motherhood. Families, churches, and individuals are encouraged to join this inspiring event, uniting as a community to uplift local families and celebrate the value of life. We welcome strollers, walkers, and wheelchairs. No pets, please.

Come be part of our powerful message of encouragement and advocacy. Together, let’s make a difference, one step at a time!

We need volunteers to make this event a success! Anyone interested in helping can e-mail Emma Barnes, EPIC Center Executive Director, at ed@easternpregnancy.net, or call  336-880-2753.
