Gale Loger (far left) created Team Darrell in memory of her      husband. With over 400 individuals already registered for this year’s Walk of Remembrance, the eleventh annual event promises to be as impactful as ever. For those who have never attended, the walk is an inspirational event centered around a 2.2-mile path throughout the Felician Grounds, from Madonna University to Angela Hospice. Those who have attended often come back year after year. Gale Loger is one walker who will be returning this year.

Judith (second from right) has attended every walk since 2010. Have you ever had a moment where you knew that you were exactly where you were supposed to be? That’s how Judith Halpert felt when she arrived at the Angela Hospice Walk of Remembrance in 2010. “The minute I showed up to the first one I said, ‘This is the place I need to be,’” Judith said. “And I need to be there every year now because it’s sort of like a tradition for me.” That tradition began thanks to a friend, whose father had been under Angela Hospice care in 2009, suggesting Judith and her husband come to the walk. While many Walk of Remembrance participants, like Judith’s friend, have had a loved one receive Angela Hospice care, Judith hasn’t. That isn’t to say she hasn’t dealt with loss though. Over a 13-month period Judith lost her mother, her father, and her mother-in-law. “I think of my parents every day but on that day in particular,” she said. “Good things happen that give you peace of mind, pe...

Click on the image to see why you should start a Walk team! After a couple weeks of it being hot, hot, hot outside it seems we can finally declare that summer is here. As you plan vacations and how much beach time you’ll get, we at Angela Hospice are already looking a few months ahead to our annual fall event, the Walk of Remembrance. This September, we are hoping to exceed our past attendance and host more than 1,000 supporters. The family-friendly walk is a meaningful event for all ages, and we would love for you to consider organizing a walk team.   A walk team is a group of supporters that will help you fundraise and attend the walk, which is scheduled for Sept. 24 at 9 a.m. on the Felician Sisters grounds.  There are all sorts of events you could host this summer to fundraise for your team. For more information please contact our Events Coordinator, Helen Balmforth, at (734) 953-6045 or hbalmforth@angelahospice.us . If you are interesting in forming a team, j...
