Hi Everyone-

Sorry for the delay in sharing the recording of walk day, there was technical difficulties in downloading it to be able to share. We’ve made the link available to anyone so if you share on Facebook, anyone should be able to watch. Michelle also will be sending an e-mail with it to everyone as well.

We are a little over a week out to our 2020 virtual walk.
