His observations and affirmations pick people back up when they need it, affirm their potential, and encourage them to keep going.  He will perform a selection of his hits including “These Tears,” a tribute to his mother who died of cancer.

T-SHIRTS?

What makes our event unique is some people choose to personalize their T-shirt with the name and photo of the person who died. For 2024, we are encouraging previous particpants to wear their personalized T-shirts again this year. If you're new to the event, you can choose to upgrade your included event T-shirt into a personalized photo T-shirt at checkout for $10. These must be ordered online and customized by March 31. 

WHAT IS THE IN MEMORY CEREMONY?

The In Memory Ceremonies allow group members and the community to share with one another about their person who died in a supportive, clinician-supported environment.

IS THE COURSE TIMED?

No, the event is not timed. While participants are definitely allowed to run the 5k, we encourage attendees to walk with friends and family and share memories of their loved ones. There will be a timing clock at the finish line for those that do want to record their unofficial time.

ANIMALS?   

While we love our furry friends, please do not bring your dogs as this is a pet-free event.

WEATHER POLICY?

The OUR HOUSE 5K: Walk & Remember will happen regardless of rain or shine, so no refunds will be given because of weather.
