The Make-A-Wish organization is seeking individuals to participate in its eighth annual Lexington Walk for Wishes on Saturday, June 29, at Keeneland. Registration begins at 9 a.m. with the walk beginning at 10 a.m.
Participants can choose either a one- or three-mile scenic walk through Keeneland, while helping to grant wishes for children battling life-threatening medical conditions.
A finish line celebration filled with music, food and fun activities will be held at the conclusion of the walk. Walkers will also have the opportunity to meet current and past Wish families and share their experiences.
There are currently more than 170 children in Kentucky waiting for their wish to come true. Participants will have the chance to help grant these wishes through fundraising for their Walk Team. To register as an individual or partner up with co-workers, friends and family to enter as a Team visit www.wishwalkers.org. Every participant who raises $100 or more will receive an official Walk for Wishes t-shirt.
