Tyler Frey was less than 70 days old when he died of sudden infant death syndrome in 1997, but his life is commemorated each fall during an annual 5K run/walk to raise funds for SIDS.

IF YOU GO

What: Fourth annual Tyler's Run.     Where: Miami Whitewater Park in Harrison.     When: Saturday. Registration begins at 8 a.m.; run/walk begins at 9 a.m.     Cost: Run/walk, $20; for duathletes (extended course), $45.     Info: www.tylersrun.com

        This year's Tyler's Run will be held Saturday at Miami Whitewater Park in Harrison. The 5K run is expected draw more than 500 participants, said Amy Zimmerman, publicity chairwoman and a friend of the Frey family.

        This year's goal is to raise $30,000. The run/walk has raised about $57,000 over the years for SIDS research and awareness.

        “The funds go directly to the local SIDS Alliance of Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky,” Ms. Zimmerman said. “All fund-raising money has to stay local.”

        Some of the money from last year's event went toward a local education campaign. SIDS education packets were mailed to more than 400 community and family organizations, day care centers and physicians.
