Old Dog, New Tricks - Series 1 Walk With Purpose
Series 1: Walk With Purpose
The Challenge:
203Km Hike on the Rideau Trail (Kingston to Smiths Falls, Ontario) in 5 Days
Host Matt Hawksley will start at City Hall in Kingston, Ontario on June 26th at 7:00 am and begin to hike along the trail to Smiths Falls, Ontario. The goal is to arrive within 5 days by end of day June 30th. It will be a continuous journey and the non-outdoorsman that he is will camp each night and traverse the beautiful Ontario countryside on a mission, a mission to walk for the children who cannot.
Powering It With Good:
Inspired to do something by the incredibly moving story of Annalise Schultz - www.amazingannalise.com (watch the short documentary above to learn about Annalise and the Children's Brain Tumor Network)
Brain and CNS tumors are the most common cause of disease-related death in children aged 0–19 years in the U.S. and across the globe, with approximately 412,000 children and young adults living with a brain tumor each year.
On February 26, 2020, Annalise lost her battle with DMG, Diffuse midline glioma. She fought for 203 days but she remains an inspiration to us all eternally.
Creating Impact:
During the 5 day hike, YOU can also take action in the following ways and help the Children's Brain Tumor Network continue to innovate to improve the health of every child and young adult diagnosed with a brain tumor:
