Our 22nd Sharing Walk Rescheduled for April 23, 20

Our 22nd Sharing Walk Rescheduled for April 23, 2022 -
💙💛
We are moving our Sharing Walk from Sept. 25, 2021 to April 23, 2022.
👍👍
This decision comes as a result of your feedback on having the event in April versus September due to the heat, the uncertainties of mass gatherings during a pandemic, and the delays in fundraising and planning due to these uncertainties.
🌵🌵
We considered scaling down the walk, or making some adjustments like in 2020, but we would rather give the best experience we can offer a few months later in April.
🎈🎈
So, get ready to fundraise, walk, stroll and have a great time at our 22nd Sharing Walk now happening April 23, 2022 at Tempe Diablo Stadium.

Last night I was able to spend time with my beloved friend, Jenny White, who is a gifted artist and self-advocate who has Down syndrome . She is truly one of the greatest people I know. I met her about 30 years ago and what a gift she is! As is her mother, Midge White. ❤️

If so, the dementia program from @hospiceofthevalleyaz may be able to help you.
There is no charge for this program.
