Esky Walk in the Park

Esky Walk in the Park Walk in the Park is held mid-summer in Escanaba, Michigan. It's about raising awareness.

The family of Don McInnis started the walk in his memory in 2005, and the family of Sue Anderson later joined with them in organizing this event, with the addition of the ever popular bake sale. 2010 saw a record turnout, as friends and family of Amy Chenier Kositzke, who lost her battle with a brain tumor earlier that year, showed up to honor her memory. Walk in the Park celebrated its 10th anniv

ersary in 2014, and is still going strong, with over $90,000 raised to date! In 2017, the UMBTC honored Walk in the Park with the team/group John Kerry Award for our years of hard work and support of the UMBTC. The walk serves to raise money for the advancement of brain tumor research; however, the walk is more than just a fundraiser. It's a chance for brain tumor patients and their families to connect with others who are fighting the same battle. Walkers share stories of loss, challenge, and hope with those who can truly understand. We walk to honor the memories of Don, Sue and all those who have passed, and to send our strength to those facing brain tumors. With the help of our generous sponsors, walkers and donors, we continue to share hope.
