“My team (From Mischief to Miles) is honored to participate in this year’s Walk-A-Thon in memory of Henry Albrecht (photo), a man who meant so much to our community,” said Danielle Ebbert. “Henry was more than just a friend, mentor and protector – he was a guiding force in our lives, always ensuring our safety and offering his unwavering support when we needed it most.
“His kindness, dedication and leadership helped shape countless individuals as they grew from childhood to adulthood. This event is our way of honoring Henry’s legacy, showing our love and respect for someone who will forever hold a special place in our hearts. Through our participation, we hope to keep his spirit alive and continue the impact he had on so many. I hope that many others join in and register to come out and walk, even if they are not able to gather donations. Their participation is their way of showing their support and I know Henry would be so proud of our community.”
