September comes with many emotions for a local family who relive the tragedy of a son's death each year since 2011. 14 yr old Jesse Nealey died from his injuries after being struck by a vehicle on September 9th in Blenheim.

Since then, this local family hosts fundraisers/events throughout the year to ensure that other families do not suffer as they have.

Each year family & friends walk 5.5KM around beautiful downtown Blenheim to remember Jesse while we raise awareness & funds for local C-K grade 4 students to learn bicycle safety= your children to stay safe on roads in C-K. Won't you walk with us.

Your donations stay in C-K & go right to Gr 4 Bicycle Safety Program offered through every elementary school in Chatham-Kent.

This year Jesse would have turned 21 - on Sat Oct 21st = the day of Jesse's Walk. The community is asked to join & support this family.

Please support this local family supporting your families to keep kids safe with bicycle safety. Join  us & help save lives together in C-K!

Show up at Centennial Park at 11am Sat Oct 21 & walk with his family & friends & raise awareness for Bicycle Safety.  Pledge sheets are available online.
