Spring is finally upon us, and with it comes a time of renewal and reflection. As a family, we are once again preparing for the annual Good Grief 5k Walk/Run to honor the memory of our beloved Christine Emerson Frees. Christine was an incredible wife, mother, daughter, sister, and friend, and not a day goes by that we don’t miss her deeply.

Christine touched the lives of so many people and communities during her time with us, and in her honor, we are proud to relaunch our Team Christine initiative for the 2025 season. This year, our goal is to raise $10,000 to ensure that Good Grief can continue providing vital programs to children who have experienced the loss of a parent, sibling, or caregiver.

Good Grief offers families a safe space and compassionate guidance to begin healing and finding a path forward. As committed participants and former board members, we are honored to support this incredible organization and the life-changing programs it provides.

We would be deeply grateful if you could support this cause in any way. Good Grief’s programs are entirely funded by private donations, and families are never charged for the services they receive. Your generosity makes all the difference.
