Location- Various, throughout Canada

The only location that has set time and routes is Calgary.

 

GuluWalk 2006 is a one-day worldwide event focused on raising awareness and support for as many as 40,000 abandoned children of northern Uganda, who walk up to 12.5km every night from rural villages into the town of Gulu to sleep in relative safety and to avoid abduction by the Lord's Resistance Army.

We are looking for 10,000 people to be the message of hope. The concept is simple. Get 10,000 people to each raise $100 and walk on Saturday, October 21, GuluWalk Day. The math is pretty simple too: 10,000 people x $100 = $1,000,000. That's $1-million to provide education, rehabilitation and youth support programs for the children of war-torn northern Uganda. If you sign up and raise your $100 before October 1, you will not only receive a free GuluWalk t-shirt, but you will also be featured on the main page of GuluWalk.

GuluWalk 2006, set for Saturday, October 21, will take place in over 75 cities in 15 different countries around the world. From Kampala to Kansas City to Calgary, there is a GuluWalk near you. So visit www.guluwalk.com and sign up to join other GuluWalkers in your city.
