Connecticut Hospice launches inaugural ‘Miles for Memories Walk’ to honor loved ones, support care

Miles for Memories Connecticut Hospice memorial run in bRanford, Connecticut

Connecticut Hospice is excited to announce the inaugural Miles for Memories Walk, a heartfelt community event designed to honor those who have passed and to support the organization’s legacy of compassionate, end-of-life care. The walk will take place on Saturday, August 2, 2025, at Connecticut Hospice, located at 100 Double Beach Road in Branford, Connecticut.

The day will begin at 9:00 a.m. with registration, followed by a 2-mile shoreline walk at 10:00 a.m. A post-walk celebration will start at 11:00 a.m. featuring pizza, music, and awards. One of the most meaningful aspects of the event is the Memory Tree. For a suggested donation of $5, participants can write a name, message, or tribute on a keepsake card to be hung on the tree. These cards may be taken home by participants afterward as a lasting reminder of their loved one.

Participants are also encouraged to deepen their impact by creating a peer-to-peer fundraising page in honor of someone special. Those who raise $200 or more will have their registration fee refunded, and those who raise $5,000 or more will have a commemorative brick engraved with their loved one’s name and placed behind the hospice building overlooking the water.

For those unable to attend in person, a virtual participation option is available. Virtual walkers will receive an event T-shirt and bib by mail, allowing individuals to join the effort and honor their loved ones from anywhere.
