In Palo Alto: Kara 2015 Walk'n'Run to Remember
Join us on Oct. 10 for our annual Walk'n'Run to Remember! There will be a 5K walk and a 3K run all held to support those in our community.
Kara 2015 WALK’N‘RUN TO REMEMBER
Saturday, October 10th
Mitchell Park - Palo Alto
To register for the event, visit: www.kara-grief.org/walknrun15
Because grief doesn’t discriminate, Kara is here for our community. This special event is a unique and wonderful opportunity for individuals and community organizations and businesses to walk in memory of a loved one…to walk to support friends, family or someone grieving the loss of a loved one.... and to secondarily help Kara sustain its crucial services for the greater Bay Area. Our goal is to see over 300 participants raise more than $35,000 for Kara’s compassionate support programs. Please help us reach our goal and bring healing to the community.

Our grief support services for children, teens, families and adults are provided primarily by trained volunteers who also have experience in healing from personal loss. Services are provided on a donation-basis.

We are supported primarily by tax-deductible donations from individuals, corporations and foundations.
