(STUART, Fla. Jan. 20, 2026) – The Treasure Coast Hospice Foundation will hold its annual Lakeside Stroll: A Walk for Hope and Healing on Saturday, January 31, at 8 am, at Tradition Square in Port St. Lucie. The free stroll around the Lake at Tradition is an opportunity for individuals and families to honor loved ones and support members of the community who are grieving.
“The Lakeside Stroll offers the community an opportunity to honor loved ones while supporting individuals and families as they continue their grief journey,” said Director of Grief Support and Pediatric Services Jacki Nardone, LCSW, ACHP-SW. “The annual event raises awareness for Treasure Coast Hospice’s grief counseling services and provides a peaceful space for remembrance and healing.”
Participants are invited to take part in a special legacy project, a memorial tapestry, by writing the names of loved ones and personal messages on fabric strips. The pieces will be woven together into a stunning wall hanging that will be displayed at the Treasure Coast Hospice Grief Support Center. Begun in 2019 by master weaver Hollie Machen, the project has since grown to include a second tapestry, now filled with hundreds of names and heartfelt messages of love and healing. Strollers are encouraged to bring photos of their loved ones to place on the Memory Wall. The event also features children’s activities, a Veterans station, a Pet Tent and raffles. Pets are welcome to walk alongside their owners.
Presenting sponsor Bray Commercial Services is joined by other event sponsors, including Estate, Trust & Elder Law Firm; Cleveland Clinic; Martin Funeral Home and Crematory; Dignity Memorial; AApex Electric; Boys and Girls Clubs of St. Lucie County; Children’s Services Council of St. Lucie County; Remnant Construction; iThink Financial; Visiting Angels Port St. Lucie; John Jacobs Construction; True Crew Dance Co.; Living Faith Church; Natalie’s Juice; and Gordon Foods.
The Lakeside Stroll is free to attend. Registration and a “grab and go” breakfast begin at 8:00 a.m. Pre-registered attendees will receive a t-shirt while supplies last.
