FAQ - The Day of the Walk
Are pets allowed at the walk?
Sorry but, pets are not allowed.  Many affected children have a fear of animals and even the sweetest pet could negatively affect another participant.   Please be sensitive to this issue and leave your pets at home.  Only service dogs are permitted at the walk.

Are strollers and wheelchairs allowed at the walk?
 Yes.  Strollers, wheelchairs and even wagons for the little ones are all welcome.

Are bikes, rollerblades, scooters or skateboards allowed at the walk?
For everyone's safety, we can not allow any of these items.

I may not make it to the walk when Check-In/Registration opens.  Can I arrive late?
 Yes.  Check-in will be open until the walk ends.  Please go directly to the check-in area when you arrive.

If I don't pickup my t-shirt at the event, can I get one mailed to me?
Unfortunately, T-shirts are only available at the walk. 

What happens if it rains on the day of the walk?
 All walks will be held on the date scheduled "rain or shine.”

What do I need to bring with me on the day of the walk?
 If you received a check-in envelope in the mail, please bring it with you on walk day. Donations, along with a donation form for each, can be placed inside.  Seal the envelope and bring it with you.  You can save time on walk day by sending in your donations ahead of time.

If you register within 2 weeks of the walk, we may not have time to send you an envelope - please click here to print a check-in sheet that can be used the same way.   If you have donations, please place them, along with a donation form for each, inside of any envelope and staple the sheet to the outside.
