Dear Friends,

It has been my honor to sit on the Board of Directors of LifePath, Inc. for many years.  LifePath offers a wide variety of services and programs that support older adults, people with disabilities, and caregivers in our region.   On May 1st, I will be participating in the 2021 Walk-a-thon to raise funds to support these efforts and I'm inviting you to join me!    Please go to my fundraising page and give as generously as you can. 

Because of COVID-19, this year's event will be held virtually for the second year in a row.  Last year, my goal was to raise $200, but my generous and caring friends donated over $700 to LifePath!  So I've raised my goal to $750 this year. 

Thank you all for your support!

Joanie

For the 29th year, LifePath will again host our annual Walkathon scheduled for Saturday, May 1, as a virtual event with the theme, “Why I Walk: Stepping Up and Stepping Out for LifePath.”

Revenues from last year’s event declined by 34% as we were all trying to make sense of the effects of the pandemic on our community, businesses, loved ones, and ourselves. LifePath’s move to broaden the scope of programs that receive funding through the Walkathon effort proved invaluable. Those funds offered flexibility as we experienced more uncertainty at this time of unprecedented isolation, need, and worry.

The power of community that walkathon fundraisers and their supporters have brought to the Walkathon continues to be integral to the well-being of those LifePath serves. Funds raised from the community offer LifePath the opportunity to make independence an option in more ways through its 40+ programs and services. The agency has also been responsive as we all have been navigating the pandemic: adapting programs, offering Personal Protective Equipment, and assisting with vaccine scheduling,

Please know that every donation is meaningful to the community members LifePath serves, and the work LifePath does every day. Thank you for supporting this fundraising effort.
