 Calling All Colourful Sneakers!
The Mile High Marshall will ride the streets of Edmonton on the first ever Walk for Life Float.
We need to borrow sneakers to line the perimeter of the float. Bring in your sneakers by Friday so our Marshall has a beautiful float – brightly colored kicks are welcomed and encouraged.
You can collect your shoes at the end of the walk or any time during the week.
Thank you
