So yeah, McKenna, do you wanna take over?
3:46
Yeah, and so we brought in a lot of, like, community partnership through this event, so we want it to be an event, not just the walk.

The walk is blindfolded, so, like, we have this little path, and you get on with teams, and then you guide your blindfolded member throughout the path.

But the event also includes a number of other things.

Um, our first year we did it, we had speakers, and then we had Jersey Mike's, um, donate completely free food for us.

And last year, we had Chick-fil-A speakers, and we also did, like, a little raffle.

And combining both years, we raised almost $30,000 for Mayo Miles.
