Join 'A Walk to Remember' Sept. 26 in Batavia

On Saturday, Sept. 26, Fox Valley Volunteer Hospice will hold its ninth annual 5k family fun run and walk.

Join them that day in remembering your loved one and celebrating their life.

"A Walk to Remember" is a time when family and friends gather on a crisp fall morning and walk the beautiful Fox River loop in honor, or in memory, of a loved one.

The comfortable and beautiful 5k course, starting at the Peg Bond Center, 151 Island Ave. in downtown Batavia, can be completed by most in under an hour.

• Walk with them to remember a loved one and celebrate their life

• Walk with them to honor those faced with a life-threatening illness

• Walk with them to raise money for those who will seek the agency's life-changing services in the future.

After the walk, a delicious lunch, catered by the local Enticing Cuisine, is served and a free drawing is held with giveaways for the young and old alike.

A memory board will be displayed at the event where walkers can post photos and mementos of their loved ones, personalized badges are given to all walkers honoring their loved one, and there is an opportunity to make memory stones in remembrance of your loved one.

Registration is $25, $15 for ages 7-12, and free for those 6 and younger. Register by Monday, Sept. 14, to get a free T-shirt.

Proceeds of this event enable Fox Valley Volunteer Hospice to achieve its mission of enhancing the quality of life by providing the best in compassionate services to those with life-threatening illness and the bereaved.
