SCAN TO LEARN MORE years, the organization has provided permanent housing solutions to local women in need of a helping hand as they build brighter futures for themselves and their loved ones. Women-led households make up 65% of new Habitat Homeowners and 55% of homeowners who received home repairs in the last 3 years. Next to the houses under construction sit two Habitat homes that were completed and sold last year.
The Cenlar team worked from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the construction site, located at 224 and 226 S. Academy St. in Hightstown.
9-year-old and her mother publish book aimed at helping kids
Nine-year-old Pennington resident Emily Pozsony and her mother, author, life coach and mental health advocate Alicia Pozsony, have published a book called “Funbook: Like a Diary But More Fun.” The book is available on Amazon.
“Funbook,” the second book in Alicia Poszony’s “Emotional Strength” series, is meant to be interactive and inspire kids to understand themselves, learn compassion, build emotional tools they can use, build community, appreciate their role and each other for all their similarities and differences, as well as inspire discussion between children and adults.
“I wanted kids to understand it and I knew because I have been through it, too, and learned better ways of getting along with others. I knew I could help younger kids,” Emily said in a media release.
“Children need a softer path. The world is hard enough as it is, so let’s give them the mental health tools they need and get them started early so we can eventually alleviate the existing mental health crisis. If kids can learn to self-regulate in a healthy way, we can pave the way for healthier future generations,” Alicia said.
Alicia Poszony hosts a radio show and podcast called Resilient You. She also leads an online group called Women Uplifting Women, and is the founder of a career coaching practice in New Jersey.

MALCOLM continued from Page 1 relief and feeling hopeful. It fits with our coping mechanism,” Tara says. “But I also think that, Malcolm was so alive, so present, that doing something like this that is full-body aliveness felt like a perfect way to honor him.”
Pennington Montessori was one of Malcolm’s favorite places. After his passing, the school dedicated a grove of fruit tress on the grounds called Malcolm’s Orchard.
In addition to its ongoing support, the school has once again offered the use of the school grounds to start and end the run/walk in Malcolm’s honor. Many of the organizers and participants in the event are parents of Malcolm’s Pennington Montessori classmates.
“Pennington Montessori school is honored to host Miles for Malcolm. We wouldn’t think of having this event anywhere else. Everyone loved and misses Malcolm and his sweet spirit. His joyful nature lives on within the school. We are blessed to have the entire Wildszewski family as part of our school community,” Pennington Montessori director Kathleen Hannah said in a media release.
“We have this incredible team of people who make this possible,” says Kim, a minister at the Unitarian Universalist Church of at Washington Crossing. “Everyone on the team knew Malcolm, they were Malcolm’s closest friends, they are our closest friends.”
She says when the leadership team of the SUDC Foundation came to last year’s event, they were “mouths open in awe” at how the larger Hopewell community supported the event in such significant ways.
“To have our community come out and just be present to us and with us, and then also as an outcome to be able to raise so much money, makes us feel we can do a little bit of something both with our grief and with his death,” she says.
The first Miles for Malcolm event attracted some 370 registered participants — including virtual racers — and the Wildszewskis are hopeful of an even greater turnout this year.
“As much as we want this to be in celebration of Malcolm, we also want it to last longer that just one year or two years,” Kim says. “We want to try to imprint this in the community.”
The Wildszewskis have been in Hopewell Valley since 2014. They met in Washington, and lived in North Jersey for a time before settling here. They have two other children: Tobias, a second grader at Bear Tavern Elementary School, and Otis, who was born in 2021.
“Tobias is our 7 1/2-year-old. He is brilliant and bright and athletic and funny and charismatic and all the good things you would want,” Kim says. “He is 2 1/2 years older than Malcolm. When Malcolm died, we knew we weren’t done parenting a toddler. Tara has carried each of our children, so we decided for her to get pregnant pretty immediately after his passing. Otis was born May 3, 2021.”
Before children, Tara was an avid runner. The data analyst and native of Omaha, Nebraska, has completed a marathon and several half marathons and often ran upward of 70 miles a week.
Kim, a native of Long Island, was never so avid a runner, though she shares that running actually played a significant role in hers and Tara’s relationship.
“I’ve only run one half marathon, and that was only because Tara was an incredible partner and incredibly patient and trained me,” Kim says. “I ran the half marathon with her and because of her. At the end of it, that’s when we decided we were going to get married. Helping each other specifically in that way is so much a part of our story.”
In addition to the races and fun run, Miles for Malcolm will also feature face painting, crafts, live music, vendors and more. Sign up for the timed and untimed, live and virtual races is online at milesformalcolm.org.
Registration is $35 (no fee for the fun run) and the organizers say that proceeds will benefit the SUDC Foundation’s mission to promote awareness, advocate for research, and support those affected by sudden unexplained death in childhood.
