RUTLAND — The Hope Lives Here second annual Fun Run is set to start at 9 a.m. Sunday, Oct. 16.
The run is actually a 3-mile walk beginning at Glenwood Elementary School, 65 Glenwood Road, heading down the Rail Trail, past the cemetery and back to the school.
Parking is on the upper school field and there will be a police detail.
A post event celebration will be held at Lilac Hedge Farm.
Hope Lives Here is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that helps people struggling with loss and grief. The organization’s aim is to build upon the foundation of loss, compassion, healing and hope, according to founder and Rutland resident Patty Inwood.
Inwood lost her son Luke to suicide in 2015.
Last year’s Fun Run raised $40,000 and helped to provide basic furnishings and a printer for the Hope Lives Here office.
“Please join us for Hope Lives Here’s second annual 5K fundraiser for a day of community, support and hope,” Inwood said. “HLH strives to help people make connections with others who are also struggling with loss.”
