Pecan Grove Walk for Livi
October 3, 2025
Richmond, Texas
Join us at 6pm Friday evening, October 3 for a neighborhood walk to honor the life of Olivia Faith Castro and bring awareness to childhood mental health…
Livi died by suicide at the age of 13. To all appearances she was a happy middle schooler who brought joy to others while on the inside she was battling adolescent anxiety.
The 1 mile neighborhood walk will begin and end at Pecan Grove Park pavilion. (formerly Pitts Road Park).
Join us to honor an amazing, all-too-short life, to show support to her grieving family, and to give hope to those still battling.
