A. Yes, you can Walk Anywhere! And we encourage it. If you can’t make the date, aren’t comfortable in crowds, or live too far away, please join us in spirit! Click “register” and look for the virtual option. You’ll still get all the personal fundraising incentives, including the official For Pete’s Sake, Walk t-shirt if you raise $50 or more! You can walk anywhere you’d like between April 22nd and May 6th and your contribution will help our overall fundraising goal.
