Memory Walk
Ryan's Place recently held it's Fourth Annual Memory Walk at the Reith Intreptive Center in Goshen. The weather was wonderful and the Walkers raised over $2,700 for Ryan's place.
The event concluded with a balloon launch. Each walker was given a paper hand on which they wrote a message to their deceased loved one.
The paper hand was tied to a brighly colored balloon, and on the count of three all partiipants released their balloon up into the sky.
Ryan's Place wishes to acknowledge the help and support of the Junior League of South Bend who volunteered on the day.
