Join us in our efforts.
Wind of ChangePinwheels are a beautiful reminder of the cycle of life, love, and the support systems we put in place. Donate $5 for a pinwheel that will be carried with our team during the 5K walk. Come to the office to donate or donate directly to our team on NKF and leave a note "Wind of Change".

HEALTH AND WELLBEING
MOVEMENTYou don't have to go to the gym to add the health benefit of movement to your every day. Our team prepares for the 5k walk with step count challenges and activities leading up to the walk. Adding simple movements to your day can make such a difference. In a few shorts weeks our team has noticed a positive change in their resting heart rate, energy levels, cardio fitness, and weight. Read more about the benefits of movement.
