About the Event
On September 12, 2009 Heidi Lee Ferguson (nee Bogner) lost her life due to a tragic domestic dispute with her estranged husband. In remembrance of her life, the Ferguson Memorial Walk was created in 2012 to raise awareness and prevent future violence against women.
Heidi's Walk proudly honours the legacy of the Ferguson Memorial Walk (2012-2019). These two events have collectively raised over $150,000 in support of Family Transition Place's (FTP's) programs and services. Last year's virtual event raised over $13,000 in support of FTP's essential programs and services.
FTP invites you to join us at an outdoor event taking place at Island Lake Conservation Area, which will combine two of our major fall fundraisers: Heidi’s Walk and The HOPE Project. This event will feature a 5k walk around the beautiful Island Lake. We’re looking forward to seeing everyone in person to remember Heidi and to walk with HOPE to end domestic violence.
