Family Reunion and Memorial Walk

October 11th 2025

Time: 4pm-8pm

Location: West Jessamine Middle School 1400 Wilmore Rd, Nicholasville, KY 40356

SAVE THE DATE!! Stay tuned for more details!! We cannot wait to see all of our family next year!

One of the hardest parts of the CDH journey is the isolation you experience. Meeting up with families who are walking this same path can be so life giving. We want to provide the space and place for you to do just that! Whether you are the parent/family/friend of a child who has survived CDH or a child who has passed from CDH please join us. We will have an afternoon of walking, talking, games and of course a cookout. We will spend the hours from 4pm-6pm connecting and then at 6:30pm we will light the luminaries and begin the silent walk in honor of the amazing warriors who's battle has finished. If you cannot attend the walk you can still purchase luminaries for your loved ones.

Registration

Why are we walking? Because walking indicates a direction and purpose. CDH was not something we chose but we can choose to unite as a family with the shared purpose of supporting one another. I hope you will join us!

There is no limit to purchasing, you can purchase as many as you would like for your loved one and leave a note that will also be printed. Share a sweet memory, a nickname or even a favorite quote. Each luminary will be lovingly created and displayed to with the honor these sweet warriors deserve.
