Hope For Widows Foundation’s Widows of Hope VIRTUAL 5K Run/Walk is back!!!

Walk or run at your own pace. Run outside, use a treadmill, walk the dog, get a group together – it’s your place and pace.

The purpose of the virtual 5K (3.1 miles) is to get everyone active while bringing attention to the more than 245 million women around the world who are widowed and the challenges of losing a spouse. Anyone can join! Whether you’re a widow or a widower or a friend/family member showing support, everyone’s welcomed to participate. The deadline to register is October 19.

Recruit your friends and family to join you as you walk in honor of your spouse or a cause.

In addition to helping to show support for widows across the globe, you will earn cool bragging rights and an awesome finisher’s medal. Proceeds will benefit Hope for Widows Foundation, a 501c3 non-profit organization national support system for, and developed by, widowed women which connects new widows with other widows to offer peer-to-peer support and other resources.
