Written by Last Sunday my fund raiser project came to an end. As the final step, the Zen Martial Arts Striders walked around the Capitol with 20,000 other participants to raise awareness to breast cancer.
Our Zen Martial Arts community raised a total of $3,880.09 to save lives and fund the future of breast cancer research, patient support, and advocacy. All in all, Sacramento event raised donations just shy of $385k!
We met super early on Sunday morning, at 7:30AM. The walk started at 8AM and went down Capitol mall, through Old Town, DOCO back to the Capitol. Not only did we walk for a good cause, I, myself, could clock another 3 miles to my 1,000-mile journey.
As this was not really a competition run, the sides were filled with not just spectators but artists, music groups, school cheerleader classes and street vendors.
We even had time for a morning pint at a bar in DOCO.
It was a great event!
Thank you all that joined and/ or donated. I deeply appreciate the support.
