We’re walking in loving memory of Christa Joisil—a devoted wife, amazing mom, loyal friend, and woman of incredible strength and grace. Christa passed away in April 2024 after a brave battle with cancer, but her spirit continues to shine brightly in all who knew her.
Christa was full of life—smart, kind, and full of faith. She loved hard, laughed often, and lived each day with purpose. Whether cheering on her kids, leading at work, or singing at church, she gave her whole heart.
This walk is our way of honoring Christa’s memory and the love she poured into the world. We walk for her and to support others navigating life with the same strength Christa showed every day.
Please join us in remembering Christa and supporting this cause. 💜

Imagine is a growing and evolving organization, that began in Westfield, NJ, and serves families from over 57 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 our team 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.
