The Whirl: Oakwood 24 Benefiting Healing Transitions

The eighth annual Oakwood24 Run/Walk benefiting Healing Transitions was held at a new location, Lakeside Retreats, after outgrowing its longtime host  Oakwood Cemetery. This year, 74 runners completed the 24-hour endurance event, including one relay team of seven people. Dozens more joined the event, cheering along the sidelines throughout the day and night. Founded by Jon Frey, the event has raised over $1,000,000 to date to support recovery.
