Lady Middies "Walk the Walk" August 22-24
The Lady Middies have reached their team goal of $25,000 raised for breast cancer research…and there are more donations to be calculated yet. Thanks to all of you for all of your support! And thanks to Dolly Faup and Mary Duffy, co-captains of the team!!
The Lady Middies will be “walking the walk” THIS WEEKEND: Friday, August 22--Sunday, August 24.
Two ways you can still get involved to show your support of their amazing efforts, are by participating in a Cheering Station, or during the Closing Ceremony. Details are below:
Cheering Stations
Cheering Stations are a great way to show your support along the route to encourage walkers and let them know that you are with them every step of the way. Seeing familiar faces cheering them on can provide that extra burst of energy that gets them to take that next step or go the next mile. Create banners, hold up signs, bring some music and make some noise - anything to make them smile, get energized and keep walking.

Closing Ceremony
After three days and 60 miles, participants will take a final and incredibly emotional victory walk into the Closing Ceremony. Friends, family and supporters should arrive at the Closing Ceremony site at least one hour early to get the best view of the program. Please allow extra travel time due to expected congestion at the site.
All walkers and crew members should remain in the Participant Holding Area where they will receive a victory shirt, cheer on fellow walkers and crew members and celebrate one last time together before their dramatic victory walk. The Participant Holding area is CLOSED to spectators. If you wish to meet with a participant before the Ceremony begins, please have them meet you at the Closing Ceremony site. All participants must return to the Holding Area no later than 4:00 pm in order to join the victory walk.

12:00 pm - 4:00 pm: Walkers arrive at Holding Area
3:30 pm: Spectators arrive and should head directly to the stage
