Do you want to do something good for the community? Want to make a difference in someone else's life? Then get your calendars ready and save the date, because on Sunday, October 15, the Student Government Association is hosting the Miles for Medals walk.
With locations throughout the Hudson Valley, the Miles for Medals walk benefits the children with disabilities who hope to one day participate in the Special Olympics.
"Anyone can do it," said Mary Ellen Conway, Student Council President. The two-mile walk from McCann to Gartland and back again is nothing to shy away from. In addition to supporting a good cause, once the two mile walk is completed, there will be free food and incentive prizes awaiting the walkers.
Every person interested in the walk is encouraged to join the team at https://www.kintera.org/faf/search/searchTeamPart.asp?ievent=169805&lis=1&kntae169805=8EDE52D4D76F44E3B4B4B1FA0963C530&supId=138781920&team=1370162, in order to raise money. "You don't have to join the student government team, it's there for anyone who wants to do it."
Registration begins at 9 a.m. that day, and the walk will start at 10 a.m.. "The goal really is to get our name and this cause out there, we wouldn't be here if not for the students."
