“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” – Lao Tzu

Whether you join as a participant, a donor, or a cheerleader on the sidelines, your involvement helps create a world where everyone has access to the resources and opportunities they deserve. So, lace up your sneakers and walk with purpose—because every step counts.
