Special Thanks to ...
The assistance of the organizational team for the Walk has been incredible: John Moore (Media Coordinator), Kerem Arig (Logistics Coordinator), Heather Meyer (Events and Organizational Coordinator), and Timothy Knauth (Fundraising Coordinator). Without their help, this Walk would not have been possible. Along the way, many have provided generous help and support, including …
