Join us for a much anticipated 2nd installment of the Walk-a-Don 5K Fun Run & Walk, to support our wonderful friend Don Fessman. In July 2018, Don was in an accident while on vacation. He was taken down by a wave that bent his spine and left him a quadriplegic. He lives and thrives in his Lancaster, CA home, with the support of his friends and care team, and continues to be a powerful inspiration to his community of friends and family.
Please RSVP to participate. The minimum registration amount is $25 and is a tax-deductible donation going to Don's 501c3 to support him on his journey of survival. He will be donating a portion of his proceeds to the Christopher Reeve Foundation.
To sign up, please visit https://www.HelpForDon.com/.
Last time our goal was $10,000 and we raised $15,000. This time, we’re going for $25,000+!
Volunteers are needed! We can't do this without your support, so let's build a team. If you would like to participate, please contact Lisa G at [email protected] ASAP!
This is a rain or shine event, all ages, pets welcome (on leashes). We’ll meet at South Beach Park on the Santa Monica boardwalk and walk or run to the Santa Monica pier and back.
Costumes are encouraged. It's the weekend before Halloween so let's cause a scene with our crazy costumes! Prizes will be awarded for best costumes and the run winner.
Please register at https://www.HelpForDon.com/and we'll see you there!
