In Their Own Words

Why We Walk

Every walk is led by a bereaved family member who refuses to stay silent.

It’s nice to share in our grief with others, share our stories about why we walk, and help in the fight against fentanyl.
Mary P.Walk Organizer
I was very nervous about coming since it was my first year. I rarely leave the house since losing my daughter in 2022. I was welcomed by everyone.
Kathy V.Bereaved Parent
Seeing those empty pairs of shoes was a powerful reminder that every life lost was someone’s loved one.
