Skaters In London Honor Late Loved Ones With Special Event

Avid skaters take to streets of London to remember late loved ones

A special event called the 'Forget Me Not Skate' was organized in London by the group Wheels and Wheelchairs along with the bereavement charity Grief Encounter. The event aimed to honor and remember loved ones who have passed away. Participants, including wheelchair users and skaters, skated a total of 10 miles from Battersea Park to The Strand and back.
