Once we've completed fundraising (see the DONATE! page for more information) and training, the FUN really begins. Bright and early on Saturday, May 5th all participants meet at the starting point and start WALKING!! The first day we walk 26.2 miles, or a marathon, and the second day is 13.1 miles, or a half marathon. Needless to say, by the end of the weekend we will be pooped!
Along the way Avon Walk volunteers (adults and the VERY awesome Youth Crew), feed, water, bandage and cheer us on! Not only that, but perfect strangers encourage us from their front porches and honk their car horns. Staff members from the various organizations who benefit from our fundraising hand out candy, cookies, stickers and high fives!
From fundraising to walking, it is an amazing experience! We'd love to have you join us!
