‘We haven’t forgotten them’

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Every April, hundreds of people gather at the Je erson County Government Center and walk to the little garden on the south side of the complex. Along the walkway, among the owers and trees, are the names of those the community has lost to crime.

Many of their family members and friends make the Courage Walk annually as a reminder that they are not alone and that their loved ones are not forgotten.

On April 29, hundreds of those impacted by crime — survivors, victims’ family members and friends, and their communities — gathered for the 30th annual Courage Walk.

Local victim advocacy organizations host Je erson County’s event, which always coincides with National Crime Victims’ Rights Week.
