Thank you for visiting my fundraising page for Greta's Run. Greta was just 14 when she passed away from an unimaginably tragic accident. She was, and still is, my sister. To honor and memorialize her this local 5k was created by two of her childhood friends. Each year this run has been a huge success because of all the donations and support from so many like yourself. Whether it is support from a donation ( large or small) or spreading the word about Greta's Run it is genuinely appreciated. I know this event would have been something Greta would have loved to be a part of in person, but she is here in spirit. So lucky to have this amazing day to look forward to each year. Thank you all and thank you to Imagine for the continued support and love.
Imagine is a growing and evolving organization, that began in Westfield, NJ, and serves families from 80 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.
Donate to my fundraising page to help Imagine provide free, year-round grief support to people dealing with the death or life-altering illness of a parent, sibling or child. With our help, Imagine can continue transforming grief and loss into resilience, empathy, and compassion for the 2,000 children and adults it serves annually.
