Are You Ready to RACE??

For 40 years, KinderMourn has given HELP, HOPE, and HEALING to bereaved parents, grieving children, and teens. We provide counseling services for parents who have experienced the death of a child and children and teens grieving the death of a parent, sibling or loved one. The mission has remained strong and the heart of KinderMourn still beats for one purpose...to provide a safe haven for those who have suffered an unimaginable loss.

For 14 years, we've been racing ducks for HOPE. On Sunday, April 29th, we will splash another record number of ducks into the U.S. National Whitewater Center's wilderness channel in honor and in memory of all of those that have died too soon. Your kindness and generosity for the 2017 Hope Floats Duck Race was extraordinary and we can't thank you enough for your incredible momentum and passion for KinderMourn.

We think the 2018 race will be the best yet!

Adopt ducks! Float Hope! See you at the race!
