2013 Tour of Hope
October 25th - 27th
Lace up your sneakers, grab a paddle, peddle a bike, or have a sundae...just get involved!
In 2010, 14 children were killed in Minnesota from child abuse and neglect. In honor of those children, and for the future of so many others, we will walk 14 hours each day. We will have a tent set up just east of the rose garden at Lake Park in Winona. We need your help! 14 hours with no breaks is not a reasonable or healthy goal...we are reaching out for the community to get involved. What happens if NO ONE comes? We walk 14 hours every day...no breaks, no relief, no hope. But we will. We will because far too often this is the reality to children who are being abused...the signs are there, they may even ask for help, yet we don't take action. NOW IS THE TIME TO REACH OUT AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
Have you ever seen a child and wondered if they were okay? Have you ever seen a parent at the very end of their rope and wondered how you can help? Have you ever just simply felt hopeless and that you couldn't make a difference? NOW YOU CAN!
Whether it's sneakers, stroller, or wheelchair...you bring hope when you show up! There's no magic pace and it's not a race! Grab a pledge form and registration form, ask those around you to support your efforts, and join us. Round up co-workers to walk on your lunch, get your family together and come down in the evening, meet some friends and make a difference! It is easy to hear someone ask for help...now reach back to support a fantastic mission and program. Don't forget...reach within, reach out, and reach for the stars! We have a huge goal of $14,000 but know that with your help...we can make a difference!
