Walk in person 1 mile with us or repeat the course to walk additional miles to show your support for our cause to serve the poor! You may also walk virtually at any time or place of your choice. After the walk, we will have breakfast, fellowship and fun. Check in starts at 8 am. Walk starts at 8:30 am.
