Chiari Walk Info: September 26th, 2009

[Shane99]

I remember someone mentioning this a little while ago, but I'm too lazy to go look for it :).

I'm not sure I'm up to organizing it around here, but I'm gonna see what I can do to get someone else to. :D

If you are able or know anyone willing, we should all try to participate and/or get something going in our cities or a large city nearby.

[Zipperhead0609]

The Albany Walk is going to be at The Crossings in Albany...(or is it Colonie?)  

I live in Rensselaer!  :)

[MaraFowler]

I think they moved the Albany NY walk to the park in Cohoes.. Will be attending that one along with a bunch of family and friends.. (any ideas for a team name?) Hopefully I'll actually be up to the walking..

[Shane99]

The Chiari Walk in Nashville is a NO GO. :(

We weren't able to get the paperwork in by the deadline, so we won't be able to do it this year, but it looks good for next year.

[selmaS]

Hi,
  Do you know if there having a walk in the Boston area??
  

[selmaS]

HI Shane...I posted on this last Sept, I know that the local groups did organize the walks. NY had one and I know in my area there wasn't one close enuff for me to participate.

I think it is a great idea to get more walks in more areas.......
this can only get us more awareness!! : )

For those that do belong to local support groups please add ur insights.
