Unfortunately once again we have to cancel the Des Moines walk which was scheduled for Sunday May 17th. Small gatherings of non-related people are not allowed yet, so you will have to keep up your walks by yourself or with those that you live with. Hopefully by June we can start up again.
That doesn’t mean you have to stay inside all the time though. It is important for both your physical and mental health to get some exercise and do something positive. Go for walks in your neighborhood; work in your yard; call your family & friends; make masks for those who need them; make sure those that are unable or unwilling to shop for food and supplies have what they need; and most important follow the health guidelines to keep yourself and others healthy.

Our walks are sponsored by the Des Moines Legacy Foundation, www.desmoineslegacy.org, We donated money to the Des Moines food bank so they could buy a new van, which is real important right now with all the demand from people who are out of work or hurting right now. Thank you to the essential workers out there, and those of you who are providing masks, support, or financial help to those that need help.
You can also find the Des Moines Legacy Foundation on Facebook HERE.
Thanks,
