Organiser's description

DETAILS: THE 2024 WRR FOR LIFE HAS BEEN STRUCTURED AS A VIRTUAL, DISTRIBUTED EVENT WITH AN IN-PERSON CLOSING PROGRAM. This virtual event means individuals, families, and groups can gather, WEAR THEIR WALK-RUN-RIDE SHIRT and represent life in your part of the community-spreading the message across Fairfax County. We are leaning heavily on teams to be formed and participate in this event together and hope this means your small group, youth group, or family can complete their walk, run, or ride any time between April 20th and May 4th, at their preferred location. Our goal is to increase our reach and participation through this model. In future years we may return to a scheduled, centralized event as we constantly search for ways to champion the cause of life. All Registered participants will be invited to our IN-PERSON Celebration of LIFE closing program to wrap up the event on Saturday, May 4th!

Get your swag bag and t-shirt (If raised $50) at Assist Pregnancy Center on Saturday, April 20th from 9:00am -12:30pm. Assist staff will be available to answer any questions during the expo. Get your t-shirt, and pick up some fun event swag and initial prizes.
