Anna and I at the Bullis Charter School Walkathon 2008
Hi! I’m Lee Garverick and this is my inaugural Walkathon blog entry. Thank you for finding me!
I love walkathons, was co-chair of my daughter’s walkathon in 2008, and have been involved in eleven different walkathons over the past eleven years (and counting). I am writing an e-book about how to organize and run one for your school. It should be ready in a few weeks.
