Walk-a-thon opportunities


Posted by Kristen D. Patient Expert

Hello all!

As the endurance training community coordinator, and being that the walk-a-thon community is part of the ET community, I thought I would post links to organizations that host Walk-a-thon events that raise money for a good cause. This will be the first of several posts, but please feel free to post others that you've participated in, and share stories about them. We'd love to hear why you participated and what the events were like.

American Cancer Society Relay For Life: http://www.relayforlife.org/relay/

(I've participated in a few of these. It's an overnight event where team members take turns walking.)

The (Susan G.) Komen Race for the Cure

(A 5K race and fitness walk. I think many will agree with me that this event is legendary in the strides its made.)

Another walk-a-thon opportunity!

And another!!!!

AIDS Walk New York-A major event in the northeast, this year taking place May 18, 2008.

Visit http://www.aidswalk.net/newyork/

There is also a Crohns & Colitis walka thon on June 8th, at Lisle Community Park in Illinois. go to www.cctakesteps.org and sign up with our team Renew Ink of Door county or Jean Hollander. They are fun, meet a lot of nice people. I will wear my big red hat and purple scarf just for the fun of it, and maybe a few of my family members in Illinois will come to, but everyone is invited, so bring your dog, kids, freinds and a smile, and walk a few miles for charity. C U there!! ;)
Good for you Jean! And thanks for adding all the walk-a-thon events!
