For the past three months volunteers have been teeming with excitement working on creating this event for the community. Folks from all around the globe have been working on, and mailing in the hand-made quotes that will go up along the walk-route. Supplies are being gathered, food is being arranged for, all for one simple reason: To spread more love into the world.
As you know the Walk for Hope is a gift to the community. There is no registration fee, we give away a t-shirt, lunch and a quote book. Walkers can, however, if they choose to, support a charity of their own choice. If you selected a charity when you registered, there is still time to fundraise for that charity.

Over the last eight years, folks have been asking us why we do this, I’m not sure that we’ve ever had a good answer. All I know is that creating this event that continues to inspire people in profound ways, that continues to support the work of numerous charities, well, that just makes us feel good about ourselves. Thank you for this opportunity.
We hope to see you on Saturday Oct 17th at 9am. All the details of the event are on our site: www.bethecause.org/walk but I’ve included directions below. A lot of folks have also expressed interest in helping out at the event. We have a Walk for Hope planning meeting scheduled this Saturday at 9am in Costa Mesa.
