WHO? 

Anyone can participate – young and old – runners, walkers, and the OUR HOUSE community are all welcome! Many of our participants join as teams.

WHY?

When grief is unsupported, it can lead to physical, emotional, and social risks for children, teens, and adults. OUR HOUSE annually provides free or low-cost grief support to thousands of grievers who need kindness, support, and hope.

HOW? 

Become a participant, create a personal fundraising page, and join or start a team! Registration is now open…

If you are looking for a way to commemorate your loved one, here is a list of suggestions:


Review the grief page Why We Remember for ideas.


Virtual Community Week of Wellness provides a different activity each day that helps us find meaning in our grief through the help of grief specialists and experts in their individual fields.


Celebrate the life of a family member or friend by creating a webpage about them on our Memorial Wall. You can establish a permanent memorial and invite others to add to the memorial with photos, stories, and more. You can light a virtual candle or donate in memory of those who have died. We welcome your participation and hope you find this to be a meaningful way to remember your person as you move forward on your journey from grief towards hope and healing.
