Loved ones remembered at 'Miles in Memory'

The Fourth Annual Miles in Memory, which was to take place Sept. 23 at Deep Run Park, managed to draw a crowd despite an unscheduled appearance by Tropical Storm Ophelia.

The event was moved indoors to the Full Circle Grief Center, which organizes the remembrance walk/run, and participants simply postponed their miles to later dates.  Other activities went on as planned, however, including bubble blowing, beading and jewelry-making, journal and frame decorating, and hanging memories and photos of loved ones on a memory board.

Among the visitors were Scott and Annie Wright Kennedy and their 2-year-old son, Wilder (pictured, above) who was especially fond of the bubble activity.

Founded in 2008, Full Circle is a Richmond-based nonprofit with a mission to provide bereavement resources in the community. All earnings from the event help fund grief support groups, educational programs and outreach groups so that they can remain free of charge. Full Circle also offers individual counseling and grief therapy, through insurance as well as a reduced rate.
