There will be a memorial event before the start of the race with activities happening during the race . The purpose of this event is to provide our community with an event to remember and reflect on the lives of loved ones lost.

The memorial Service prior to the start of the race will consist of a reading of the name of individuals whom are being honored during this walk. The money raised at this event will go directly to benefit the Hospice patients of Henry County Home Health and Hospice. However we want to honor all loved ones at this event. So it doesn't matter if your loved one died while in hospice care, suddenly, by suicide, or drug addiction. We want to honor them. We want to take the time to reflect on their life.
