This is the 16th Annual Walk for the WELL of It, spreading awareness of the world water crisis as we raise funds to supply clean water to rural areas of Africa, specifically the countries of Ghana and Tanzania, while promoting physical fitness in our own local community. Join the Seashore Striders and the Walk for the WELL of It committee for this worthy cause.
