Please join us as we walk in memory of two amazing souls lost way too soon. Some people experience little to no heartbreak in their lives, but somehow our group experienced not one but two huge losses in less than 3 years. If you knew MJ and Mike then you knew they were larger than life... MJ with her daily voice notes, amazing advice, pink nails and jean jackets. And Mike with his live life on the edge attitude, funniest jokes, biggest smile and be there for you in the drop of a hat kind of friendship. Friends like these usually only come around once in a lifetime, but we were lucky enough to have them both in our lives, even if only for such a short time. No one will ever replace you and your legacy lives on daily. We love you always and forever. Here is lesson to never take life for granted and to always live life to the fullest as our beautiful friends did.
Imagine is a growing and evolving organization, that began in Westfield, NJ, and serves families from over 57 towns in NJ. Imagine provides free, year-round grief support for children and families coping with loss due to death. In addition to providing grief support at its two centers in Mountainside and Newark, Imagine provides grief education and training to schools, agencies, and workplaces, and on-site support after any traumatic loss.
Greta’s Run was founded in memory of Greta Schoenemann, a Westfield High School freshman, who died from injuries sustained after a tree branch fell on her and her classmates during lunch. Her story, and the stories of many more loved ones we’ve lost too soon, are part of what makes Greta’s Run for Imagine so special.
