Getting started
My family and I are wanting to do a walk for CDH in our town sometime in the fall. No one has a clue as to where you begin to set something like this up. I'm sure there are people here who can help, so any advice is appreciated. We would alos love it if you could come as well. It will be in the Owosso, MI area.
Thanks! :)

Hmm I am not sure, but I know my aunt started a cancer walk in our home town in memory of my Grandpa. I will ask her. I would love to come to it!
-
I haven't ever done a walk, but I know several here have and hopefully they will chime in with some advice. :)
-
I don't have any advice.... but just wanted to say it sounds like a great idea! Keep us updated!
-
I love the idea!! I haven't done it but I have been thinking about it so let me know how it goes!
-
I would start with some flyers, and of course get your family involved.
A sunday would be a good day to do it on, and plan in advance, its amazing how time consuming charity work can be! :)
-
good luck, i have never done one either :(

Hi Katie, how is planning going? Feel free to download our CDH brochures or any other literature you might need! :)
It is VERY time consuming planning an event so do give yourself plenty of time to plan!
I'm thinking maybe at our future conferences we should try to do walks and balloon releases so I'm really interested in how you're doing this!!! Please keep us updated and whatever help we can give, we'll do it! :)

Hi Katie! I am in Flint (near Flushing) and would love to know how far you have gotten on this?! I will help in any way that I can also!! Have you found a spot to hold the event? How exciting!
I can not believe that I missed this post!! Katie and I are almost neighbors! LOL

We're doing the walk from Owosso to Corunna. There is a path about 2 or 3 miloes long that runs along the Shiawassee River that woul dbe perfect. We have the YMCA interested in sponsoring the event, they just wanted some information on CHERUBS. We would like to have shirts made for all the participants, and it would be great to find a place to make them cheap (if anyone knows of someone let me know). I would like the proceeds to go to CHERUBS, so Dawn, I need to know how to have that set up. DO we just send the money after the event, or do you need to do anything in advance?
