💛🇺🇸 A couple of facts...and hopefully some helpful information about A Walk to Honor ~ An Honor to Walk 🇺🇸💛
Did you know that the first Saturday in October is Minnesota Veteran Su***de Awareness and Prevention Day?
That is why A Walk to Honor ~ An Honor to Walk will ALWAYS be held on the first Saturday in October.
While our event is called A Walk to Honor ~ An Honor to Walk...yes, we walk—but this day is about SO MUCH MORE than just the walk!
✨ An amazing raffle filled with awesome items
🍴 Food
🇺🇸 The breathtaking Tree of Valor Display
🐾 A family-friendly AND pet-friendly atmosphere
🤝 A community coming together for an incredibly important cause
You absolutely do NOT have to walk to be part of the day! Come enjoy the event, visit the displays, participate in the raffle, have some lunch, support our Veterans, and simply be part of something meaningful.
If you have never joined us before, please consider joining us this year!

THANK YOU.
Thank you for showing up.
Thank you for supporting us.
Thank you for believing in this mission.
Thank you for your love year after year.
Because of all of YOU, we are preparing for YEAR #8! 💛🇺🇸
A sobering reminder of why awareness matters:
• The su***de rate among women Veterans is 92% higher than that of non-Veteran women.
• For male Veterans, the su***de rate is nearly 60% higher than that of non-Veteran men.
This is why we walk.
But more importantly...
This is why we gather.
This is why we remember.
This is why we honor.
This is why we continue the conversation.
Because this day has always been—and will always be—so much more than just a walk. 🤍🇺🇸
Here's to Year #8!💛
With love and gratitude,
Stacey & Steve
