Hi! My name is Wyatt Priece. I'm 7 years old and in first grade. This is my first ever 5k this year! I have been to Greta's Run almost every year and I'm excited to try to run in it this year! I usually go to Greta's Run because my mom works at Imagine. But it's extra special for my mom because she went to high school with and remembers Greta. 

I set a goal to run 3.2 miles and I keep practicing. I know I would feel really sad if someone in my family died, so I want to help the kids at Imagine. 

Imagine is a growing and evolving organization, that began in Westfield, NJ, and serves families from 80 towns in NJ.  Imagine provides free, year-round grief support for children and families coping with loss due to death. In addition to providing grief support at its two centers in Mountainside and Newark, Imagine provides grief education and training to schools, agencies, and workplaces, and on-site support after any traumatic loss. 

Greta’s Run was founded in memory of Greta Schoenemann, a Westfield High School freshman, who died from injuries sustained after a tree branch fell on her and her classmates during lunch. Her story, and the stories of many more loved ones we’ve lost too soon, are part of what makes Greta’s Run for Imagine so special.

Donate to my fundraising page to help Imagine provide free, year-round grief support to people dealing with the death or life-altering illness of a parent, sibling or child. With our help, Imagine can continue transforming grief and loss into resilience, empathy, and compassion for the 600 children and adults it serves annually.
