Alofa October: Celebrating Love and Legacy in Memory of Abbey Solo
Embracing Challenges, Celebrating Triumphs
Originating as a heartfelt tribute to Abbey Solo's memory, the annual Grief Walk commenced after her passing on October 12th, 2015, at the tender age of 9. It served as a means for the Solo family to honor Abbey's legacy while finding solace and mutual support in their shared grief. Each year, they traversed 100 kilometers, symbolizing their enduring love and remembrance.
In 2022, the Solo family returned to their roots in New Zealand, embarking on their annual walk from October 5th to October 12th, concluding on Abbey's anniversary. Beyond commemorating Abbey's life, the walk held personal significance as it coincided with the 1st birthday of Abbey's youngest cousin, Tayla.
Jasmine and Joshua, inspired by Abbey's spirit, took on an additional challenge by volunteering to leap from the Sky Tower in Auckland on the walk's final day.
