Who We Walk For

Every step has a name.

For someone we lost. For someone in the fight right now. For a survivor who inspires us. This is who we walk for.

The Mini Marathon isn’t 26.2 miles — it’s 26.2 steps, taken in honor of someone. Some of us walk for a person we’ve lost. Some walk for a loved one in treatment right now. Some walk for a survivor, or for themselves. This is where we hold their names, and remember why we take the next step.

Our People

The names we carry

These are the people our community walks for. Below is the format — a photo, a name, and two sentences. Real tributes go in as families share them.

In memory

[ Their name ]

A sentence about who they were. A second sentence about why we carry them with us on every step.

In honor

[ Their name ]

For a loved one in treatment right now. Two sentences about their fight, and about walking beside them.

♡

In honor

[ Their name ]
