The Amazing Walk!–Part 2

The Amazing Walk! held in September was truly amazing (and if you missed it, check out our video by clicking on this link).

But we’re not done being amazing, and we’re not done walking.

Announcing: Foundation CEO/President Melissa Hanson’s personal Amazing Walk to fight childhood obesity!

Nov. 16 is Give to the Max Day in Minnesota, and when thinking about what we could do to raise awareness and donations on that day, we came up with a crazy, wild idea:

Melissa will walk 30 miles from Maple Grove to the Mall of America on that day.

30 miles is a long way! But you can help her out. By donating to the Foundation on Nov. 16, you can help reduce the amount of wear and tear on her feet. As donations increase, certain levels will give Melissa short breaks, a chance to ride her bike a bit instead of walk, or to have other walk a mile for her while she gets a ride.

When you’re talking about 30 miles, any kind of break would be welcome.

Even better–a donor has generously pledged $10,000 in matching funds for that day. So your donation of any amount will be doubled–Give to the Max, indeed!

So mark your calendars and make a donation via our Give MN Give to the Max Day page on Nov. 16, and help Melissa fight childhood obesity and cover that 30 miles a little easier!

Stay tuned–more details coming soon!
