From the Organizer
This year will mark our 3rd annual Run For Hope, when we remember, honor, and celebrate those who lost their lives to addiction. This year's event is hosted by our Finding Hope and Hope After Loss Support Groups. We currently have over 800 members across the United States who attend these free support groups to seek hope and healing as they navigate loving someone with addiction, as well as find strength through their grief of losing a loved one.
This year’s run will be family focused with our one-mile memorial walk/run, inflatables, food trucks, and more. This will be an event you and your family will not want to miss! All proceeds from this year’s “Run For Hope” will go to funding our growing Finding Hope and Hope After Loss Support Groups, allowing more families to find healing and hope.
DEADLINE: JULY 22nd FOR GUARANTEED SWAG!!
