Breathe in the beauty. Move with intention. Heal as a community.

Join us for a heartwarming 5K Family Fun Walk through the serene trails of Riverside Park, leading to the calming waters of the Monocacy River. Let the river’s rhythm, the chirping of birds, and the playful leap of deer guide your journey toward wellness and joy.

This is more than just a walk—it’s a vibrant celebration of healing, family, and the power of community.

Let your soul be nourished by movement, laughter, and love.

Walk, hoop, jump rope, dance, and heal—as the Monocacy River whispers a gentle invitation to begin again.

🧡 Bring your family. Bring your friends. Bring your joy.

All proceeds support Community of Grace Organization’s transitional living programs for women and children on the journey to wholeness.

🏡 Why We Walk: A Call to Action for Families in Crisis 🧡

Safe, affordable housing is increasingly out of reach—especially for women exiting treatment, incarceration, or domestic violence shelters. Too often, they face relapse, homelessness, and continued trauma with nowhere to turn.

We walk to change that.

To bring stability to our children, healing to our families, and hope to our community.

This 5K isn’t just a walk—it’s a movement to fund COGO’s first transitional home in Frederick, MD and launch life-changing programs, including:

🌱 Peer support for women in recovery

🧸 Child development and care

🛠️ Life skills for long-term success

🌀 Holistic wellness rooted in the Eight Dimensions

Together, we will break cycles of addiction and generational trauma—and build a foundation of dignity, healing, and freedom.

💛 Walk with us. Stand with us. Help us build a future where every family has a place to start again.
