The weather was gorgeous and the conversation an easy banter as CUCC’s team joined the 4000+ strong Walk for Hope. Our eight walkers divided into two groups, one choosing the 1 mile loop around the wooded grounds of Angus Barn (the walk’s host) and the other walking the 5K route to and through Umstead Park. We reunited for a hamburger and hot dog feast, enjoying live music and much-appreciated chairs. What better way to celebrate Disability Sunday!
CUCC’s Walk for Hope team raised $882.47 for mental health research. Our team also included folks who couldn’t walk, but were with us in spirit.
Thank you to Dawn Koonce for organizing the team and to all those who donated. CUCC’s Walk for Hope team is sponsored by the Community Outreach Ministry.
We will be walking again next year, so keep your eye on the newsletter next September.
