Why I Am Running

With my family, I will be running this 5K, which was founded in memory of Greta Schoenemann, a Westfield High School freshman who died when she was the same age I am now. Her story, and the stories of all the families who come to Imagine, are part of what makes Greta’s Run for Imagine so special.

 

Imagine provides free, year-round grief support for children (ages 3+) and families coping with loss due to a death in the family. They serve over 600 people each year. In addition to providing grief support at its two centers in Mountainside and Newark, Imagine provides grief education and training to schools, agencies, and workplaces, and on-site support after any traumatic loss. 

 

Losing someone you love is never easy. Grief can be overwhelming, but it’s more bearable when you’re not alone. Imagine is a caring community for those who are grieving. My brother Benji has been volunteering there for 2 years and I know from his experience that Imagine makes a real difference. He says it is also the most meaningful work he’s ever done. With your donations, fewer children and families will have to go through grief alone, and they will have the resources and support they need to heal in healthy ways. I hope you’ll join my fundraiser in support of Imagine and in honor of all the loved ones we’ve lost too soon.  

 

Thank you.

--Oscar Ooi
