Hi! I am Lee Garverick. My mission here is to encourage and support anyone who wants to plan a walkathon. My second post explains why I think walkathons are a great idea.
When I became co-chair of the 2008 Bullis Charter School walkathon, my fellow chair Lynne and I inherited a stack of binders representing the collective wisdom of the chairs before us. Here, I am moving that wisdom plus a great deal of best practices research into this blog and also into an e-book called, “Walkathon Guide”.
A little background… most importantly I’m married to Tim Garverick and mom of three kids. I am a software marketing consultant by day. I live in Los Altos Hills, which I’m quite sure is the world’s capital of fantastic walkathons along with our neighbor Los Altos.
Email me any time, or connect with me on Twitter. It’s so much better when the conversation is two way.
Thank you for following me on Twitter.com. I will be visiting your site often. Everyone loved the hand towels with the logo heat pressed on them. They also loved the gift bags I had prepared for them. Their gift bag contained step meter w/cd from Million Pound Challenge donated by a local State Farm agent, lip balm and pack of wet ones. It was small tokens but they appreciated it.
Our walkathon is in its 2nd year. We look forward to it growing as we continue. I’m really excited since I was appointed the scholarship department by my pastor last year.
Congratulations Bobbie-Rose! It sounds like a wonderful event!
