4th Annual Chiari Walk~~Sept. 17th,2011

The  Chiari Walk Across America is an annual fundraising and awareness event comprised of a series of local walks held on the same day.

In 2010, the event was held at 28 different locations, involved more than 4,000 participants, and raised over $330,000. We are proud to say that 87% of the money raised will be used directly to fund research projects and that only 13% was required for overhead and expenses. This year the walk will be held on September 17th, and it is our goal to raise at least $375,000 for research.

It is still possible to get a walk organized in your area!!

I have one near me and even got a team together and raised over $700.  I am really excited and excited by all of my friends that are joining me to learn about it.  I was dx last december and it is very humbling to do a walk for something I have still coming to grips with that!!

The closest walk to me is 100 miles away.  I actually contacted ***** yesterday about starting a walk in San Diego.  I think I will also contact someone about this one as well, the more the merrier.  

For the walk with ***** I was thinking of having it at a local park that has more then enough space and route, plus they have camp grounds, large picnic areas, playgrounds, boat rentals, etc.  I thought a "Poker Walk" would be run with five stations along the route where walkers will get a playing card and the person with the best poker hand will get a prize.  I already contacted the location and drafted a letter to send to people to get sponsorship.

I am hoping to have 200 people at the walk...wish me luck!
