The Walkers

This spring members of our club, friends and families are participating in several major community walk benefits. Exercise and initiative of this kind is always more enjoyable when don with friends and associates. We welcome you to walk with us or, if you choose, to support "the walkers" through donations for their efforts. Walks of these kinds began a decade ago with the March of Dimes and have grown in popularity. We look forward to meeting new friends and carrying forth the effort for local and national projects in the Columbus area, specifically MS and Gracehaven.
