The 8th Annual Greta’s Run for Imagine is virtual again this year
News from Imagine, A Center for Coping with Loss
At Imagine, A Center for Coping with Loss, we support people during the toughest times in their lives. And right now, we’re all facing a tough time together. Over 3,500 children and adults depend on us annually for support and education, and hundreds more look forward to Greta’s Run every spring. That’s why it comes down to this: the need for grief support and community doesn’t stop, so neither can we. The 8th Annual Greta’s Run for Imagine is virtual again for 2021!
Last year, we announced that Imagine would be the new home and beneficiary of Greta’s Run, a 5k founded in memory of Greta Schoenemann, a Westfield High School freshman who died from injuries sustained on September 11, 2002 when a tree branch fell on her and her classmates during lunch.
“Together, we will raise the money we need to continue providing free, life-saving grief support, education, and training,” said Imagine’s founder, Mary Robinson
