5k Run Virtual Walk

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 relocated to Allaire Community Farm in Wall Township, NJ.

However, this 5k walk/run can be done anywhere in the USA. No matter where you walk or run, your steps matter. Each stride contributes to our cause, supporting Rami's Heart COVID-19 Memorial and Rami's Heart Corp in continuing our vital work. Funds raised go towards maintaining the memorial, covering essential expenses, and hosting ceremonies and events to honor our loved ones.

As participants, you have three options:

  1. Walk anywhere in the USA.

  2. Join Stacie and the Rami's Heart team, along with fellow grievers, at the Belmar Boardwalk, New Jersey.

  3. Join fellow grievers in Fall River, Massachusetts.

Let us walk together, side by side, carrying the memories of our loved ones forward. Together, we walk to remember. Together, we keep their legacies alive, one step at a time.

On behalf of the Sergeant Samuel Nutter Organization, we encourage your support and thank you for being an invaluable part of this cause. You can support this cause by running in the race, donating, or becoming an event sponsor.
