Rami's Heart Memorial A Walk To Remember

Belmar, NJ
In early 2021, Stacie Roman experienced a profound loss when her beloved father, John Stephen Westcott, passed away from COVID pneumonia on February 12th. Grief-stricken yet determined, Stacie sought a way to honor her father's legacy. By June of the same year, Stacie collaborated with Rami's Heart Corp to organize our inaugural event—a walk that combined both physical and virtual participation. This gathering was more than just a walk; it was a testament to love, resilience, and remembrance. Together, we supported Rami's Heart COVID-19 Memorial, a place where the memories of lost loved ones find solace. Thanks to Stacie's efforts, we raised some of the funds needed to establish the nation's first permanent national COVID-19 memorial. As another year passes, Stacie and the Rami's Heart team are preparing for our 6th Annual Walk to Remember. The main event will take place at the Belmar Beach Boardwalk in New Jersey, the original site of the memorial before it rel

Vineland Youth Running Club

Vineland, NJ
The Vineland Youth Running Club (VYRC) is for children in the Greater Vineland Area ages 7-14 interested in recreational and competitive running. No experience is necessary, but like any sport, your child must be willing to listen, learn, and commit to putting in the work required to develop the proper skills. The mile is our chosen benchmark for progress and we believe that if a kid can get to the point of being able to run 1 mile consistently and comfortably, they can progress relatively quickly from there in both speed and endurance if they choose to. Starting with the very first day of club and every day after that, your child will run/walk at least a mile (excluding meets).Practices will be on Monday and Wednesday nights 5:30-6:30 pm, along with 5 meets in place of practice on Wednesday nights. Information on additional competitive events will be provided as we learn more. Spring: April 20-June 10  Fall: September 21-October 28 Individual Spring/Fall Membership: $75   Full Year Me

Mile A Day For Jay 5K

Wayne, NJ
A Mile A Day For Jay 5K is an event that was created to honor a truly amazing, exceptional and one of a kind person--Jason Clemente. He was diagnosed in 2016 with pancreatic neuroendocrine cancer and in 2019 was also diagnosed with chronic myelogenous leukemia. For 7 1/2 years, Jay battled cancer like a warrior and responded with an awe-inspiring determination to fight cancer and live his life to the fullest. No one loved life more than Jay. He didn't just live it, he left his mark on it. He filled it with joy, laughter and incredible moments. Jay left a lasting impression on everyone who knew him, and now, by coming together in his honor, we carry forward that legacy. Through our strides, his impact will continue-spreading cancer awareness and fueling hope.    *Official Race Shirt to the first 250 registrants   Donations will be going to Jay Clemente #223 Foundation   During his cancer battle, many friends and organizations came together to support his family.
