This year on June 1st , Canadian PKU And Allied Disorders are hosting a national walk for PKU. I am working with Kyla and Brienna on organizing the walk here in Kamloops. The Kamloops Walk For PKU will be on June 1st , (just like all the other city’s and provinces. ) at 1 pm in the WestSyde Centennial Park.  We will be walking along the dunes by the River. We will also be having tents, a picnic lunch, Pennies for PKU drive, door prizes and more. The walk is officially over at 5 pm.  Registration will be on http://www.canpku.org soon. I have also created an event page on facebook for members to share with friends and family.  

Our goal is to raise 20,000 dollars Canada Wide . We will have pledge forms available and will be accepting donations  However please remember CanPKU is not a charity and cannot offer tax receipts  The funds raised  will be uses  so that our CanPKU can continue to host quality education events in all five regions of the country each year, support families living with PKU and allied disorders as well as , advocate for the care and coverage needs in each province.

So far we have walks being held in :

If you do not see your city on the list , and are interested in hosting a walk for PKU please contact CanPKU or visit the link : http://www.canpku.org/walkathon for more information  I understand that organizing a walk is intimidating but CanPKU is very supportive and helps you along the way. I personally have hosted a walk on my own before in 2008 and am available to answer any questions you might have . Of course we are always looking for volunteers and walkers! 

I am looking for volunteers for face painting and set up and tear down. 

I am really looking forward to this event and hope that you are to. I look forward to seeing you there! 

Best Wishes,
