Miles for Memories Connecticut Hospice memorial run in bRanford, Connecticut

Connecticut Hospice is excited to host 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 takes place tomorrow, at Connecticut Hospice, located at 100 Double Beach Road in Branford. Over 150 walkers are expected.

The day begins at 9:00 a.m. with registration, followed by a 2-mile shoreline walk at 10:00 a.m. A post-walk celebration starts at 10:30 a.m. featuring pizza and music. 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.
