JR Forever 4th Annual Memorial Walk

Please join us for the JR Forever 4th Annual Memorial Walk on October 2, 2011.  In 2008, friends and family established the walk in memory of JR Schoen, a 9-year-old Darien boy who lost his life to a brain tumor.  This family and community event will raise funds for Darien organizations that impact the lives of children, including The Darien Little League’s Challenger Division and JR’s Ray of Hope.
We invite all families to participate.  The starting point and check-in will be at Pear Tree Point Beach in Darien.  The families will walk up Pear Tree Point Road to Long Neck Point Road, turn right and follow Long Neck Point back around to the beach.  The distance is approximately 1.5 miles.  For more information about the walk and JR's Ray of Hope, please visit www.jrschoen.org
