Details: Join us for the 14th ANNUAL LAURA'S RUN, celebrating the life
of LAURA HART BURDICK AND THE AMAZING WORK SHE HAS INSPIRED. LAURA'S
RUN FEATURES A 10K RUN, 5K Run, 1 Mile Run/Walk, Doggie Trot, and
Kids' Dash. The event concludes with a silent auction, music,
refreshments, and fun for the WHOLE family. The first “LAURA’s
Run” was held in 2007. It was organized by LAURA’s family and
friends as a celebration of her remarkable spirit. Everyone agreed
that it was a fun day of shared remembrances and family-friendly
events. The recurring question was, “Are we going to do this again
next year?” The answer was “Yes!” So began the ANNUAL
“LAURA’s Run”, proceeds of which support the lung transplant
program at the Norton Thoracic Institute at St. Joseph's Hospital and
Medical Center. Virtual Run Details Of course we want you to

Burdick Foundation was created to celebrate the life of our beloved
daughter, wife, sister, and friend who died in 2005 at the age of 33.
Laura successfully battled leukemia as a college student but found
that her lungs had been damaged during treatment. Her only option
would be a lung transplant. She underwent transplant surgery at
Stanford University Medical Center in January 2003. In April, she
returned to Arizona with her husband, Jon, to live and thrive with her
"gift of life". In September 2005, Laura died due to complications
from infection. During her transplant experience, Laura identified
needs for additional services that could reduce some of the challenges
that transplant patients and their families face during their illness,
surgery, and recuperation. It was her desire to help provide such
services to her fellow organ recipients. When St. Joseph's Hospital
in Phoenix introduced its new lung transplant program in 2007, the
board of Laura's Foundation recognized it as an opportunity to fulfill
Laura's aspirations!
