Angels of Hope charity walk raises money in memory of lost infants
Seventy-two walkers raised at least $150 that will support Angels of Hope and the Noah-Christian Community Center Outreach Ministry. The project gives hope for those who have lost a child before or after birth. Money raised will go to the ministry which reaches out to inner city youth in Roanoke, and also to the University of Virginia Children’s Hospital.
Women wore green t-shirts from Angels of Hope. Some walked in memory of children and others walked simply to support the ministry. Some mothers brought toddlers in strollers with them to enjoy the beautiful summer day. The walk was held on the 5-kilometer track at the Salem Civic Center.
The first two charity walks for the Noah-Christian Community Center raised more than $23,000 for University of Virginia Children’s Hospital research for infants and children. Future charity walk funds are aimed at funding a scholarship program to assist parents who need financial assistance burying an infant or a child.
