On Sunday, October 30th, friends and family joined in the First Annual Walk for Thomas. While the official event was held in Calgary, we were overwhelmed by the number of people who joined in from their own communities.
We’re so thankful not only to the Calgary walkers, but also to those who joined from Toronto, Chicago, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, London, and several other locations across the world.
Together we stood tall and walked strong to remember and honour Thomas.

The Walk was a huge success, and we wanted to extend a heartfelt thank you to the 500+ participants who joined in this walk.

The emphasis of this year’s Walk was really two-fold; remembering Thomas, and raising awareness about Neuroblastoma.
And yet, through your generosity, we managed to also raise close to $10,000 in donations for The James Fund- this was completely unexpected and we thank you again for your continued generosity and support for our efforts.

This year’s Walk, as well as future Peloton 65 events, would not have been possible without the amazing donations from our sponsors this year:

Calgary Italian Bakery
Critical Mass
Earth Distributors
Majestic Tents & Events
Queen Elizabeth Elementary School
Spolumbos
Sysco Foods
Unique Blends
Todd Audio Visual

In addition to our sponsors, there were countless volunteers who eagerly jumped on board as soon as word got out about this year’s walk. We had two weeks to make this a reality, and without the numerous friends, co-workers, family-members, teachers, neighbours, and other community-contacts, it simply wouldn’t have been the success that it was. For offering up your talents and your time, we thank you and look forward to working with you again at next year’s event.

As for future events, we hope to keep in touch with you through a few channels.
