Rami's Heart Memorial A Walk To Remember

In the early days of 2021, Stacie Roman faced a profound loss. Her beloved father, John Stephen Westcott, succumbed to COVID pneumonia on February 12th. Grief-stricken yet determined, Stacie sought a way to honor her father's legacy.

In June of that same year, with unwavering resolve, Stacie organized our inaugural event—a walk that blended both physical and virtual participation. This gathering was more than a mere walk; it was a testament to love, resilience, and remembrance. Together, we supported the Rami's Heart COVID Memorial, a place where memories of lost loved ones find solace. Thanks to Stacie's effort we were able to raise some of the money we needed to become the first permanent national Covid-19 memorial in our nation. 

And now, as the seasons turn once again, Stacie and the Rami's Heart team prepare for their fourth annual walk. The location remains poignant—the Belmar Boardwalk, where this beautiful tradition first took root.

Whether you join us in person on April 13th at 10 a.m. or participate virtually from your own town, your steps matter. Each stride contributes to the cause, ensuring that Rami's Heart continues its vital work. Funds raised go toward maintaining the memorial, covering essential expenses, and most importantly, hosting ceremonies and events that honor those we hold dear.

Let us walk together, side by side, as we carry the memories of our loved ones forward.  Together we walk to remember.
