On September 24, children lost too soon will be honored and remembered with a Walk to Remember. All are invited to attend, especially those parents or family members who have lost a child of any age.
The Walk is put on by Healing Hope Ministries, a non-profit that was formed in 2016 after Denny and Karri Allen experienced the sudden loss of their 15-month-old child, Asher. The couple felt a calling to continue the sense of community and communication they had experienced at a 4-day retreat in Northern Minnesota, which allowed them to process their grief.
Healing Hope Ministries allows families and friends to explore their grief in a safe space, with intentional work that provides a pathway of hope. The Walk to Remember is one way to gather and make connections.
The Garretson Walk will be held on September 24 at the Garretson Athletic Complex, starting at 9:30 a.m.
The walk is free to attend thanks to sponsors. Those who attend are able to purchase a personalized memorial sign in advance which includes the child's story, photos, favorite quotes, and more. Signs are then placed at each walk going forward, and can be ordered at healinghopes.com/walk-to-remember-1. The order deadline for the September 24th Walk is 12:00 p.m. on September 12. Interested attendees can also order t-shirts or become an event sponsor at the same link.
