'We Do Care' To Host First Memorial Walk In Easton

EASTON, MA — We Do Care, an organization that empowers widows and their children, will host its first annual Memorial Walk on Saturday, June 12 at Borderland State Park in Easton.

The purpose of the Memorial Walk is to provide strength to those who are struggling with loss and wish to honor the life of someone close to them.

"We Do Care helped both myself and my son at a time when we were lost," said Karen Boudreau, a We Do Care board member who will walk in memory of her husband Brad. "The love and support I get from We Do Care helped me see that there is life after loss. The kid's group helped my son, then 8, to see he was not alone. I can't say enough about We Do Care and the work they do."

Registration for the Memorial walk opens at 9 a.m. and the "fun walk" starts at 10 a.m. in the main parking lot of Borderland State Park. All participants must sign up here by June 11 at 5 p.m. Kids age 12 and under walk free and the We Do Care Walk Committee will be providing a picnic with food trucks and activities after the walk.

All proceeds from the Memorial Walk benefit the We DO Care programs, including community and children's grief support and services.
