Just wondering if anyone is doing the walk this year?  If you are in BC are you doing the walk at Queens Park Vancouver or Mill Park Abbotsford 

-------------------------------------------

@Meinvan I will not be able to attend this year (😞). I've hosted a team of 20+ family/friends for the past two years. Unfortunately, with the change in the date to later in September it conflicts with my existing travel plans. I'm going to figure out a way of doing something prior to the walk date, to get some funds raised and keep my team (Mel's Cure Crusaders) engaged. The cause is too important.  

I can tell you it is a very emotional but uplifting event. I hope many of you will have a chance to participate. If someone from OVd has a team, let us know. If folks cannot participate, there's always the opportunity to donate to the team of one of your Teal Sisters.

I had a team participate last year in Montreal and plan on doing it again. Itwas very emotional as you said. I have not registered my team yet but will let people know when I do!

-------------------------------------------

Hi Golden Daisy, let me know when you register, I would like to go with your team if that's ok?  I'm in Montreal region as well (Kirkland). Last year I did a virtual walk at home because I did not have the energy to do it in person. Thanks!

@Dragonfly ... How much do I love this 💙

-------------------------------------------

We will do the walk again this year in Guelph. We've been going since 2022. 

-------------------------------------------

I will also be at the Guelph one.  This will be my 4 th one.  ❤️

@Willow @mom2boys are you able to share the details about the Guelph one, or is there a link to learn more? THanks 😊 

The walk in Guelph takes place at the Arboretum located at the University of Guelph. Access is off of College Avenue at Victoria Road.
Plenty of parking is available. The entrance is usually marked clearly.
In the past there has been a silent auction, coffee, pastries and hotdogs as well as other snacks.
The route is one of the trails through the arboretum and is about 2 km.
Let me know if you would like any other information. Marianne Fallis usually attends the walk in Guelph and could likely help with anything you need to know as well.
See you there!
Willow.

Thanks @Willow for this information. What time does it start?

It’s always started at 9 am, I think.

Hi @MissERP if of any help here is a link to the Guelph walk site. It says it will be updated once they have full information for the day. I'm wondering if @mfallis_OCC can share any more details either for this year (at this site) or previous years relative to timing. Thanks.

Walk of Hope - Guelph/Kitchener/Waterloo

The walk in Guelph is amazing. It starts around 9 am for registration. It's a chance to meet other teal sisters as well seeing the support so many people give to us is very up lifting. We all look forward to meeting you and having you join this wonderful event.
