7th Annual Rady Children's Hospital-SanDiego
Shamu & You Family Walk 
at SeaWorld

Saturday, October 5, 2013, 7:30am

Walk starts at 7:30am - please plan on arriving at the SeaWorld parking lot no later than 6:45am.
Shamu & You Family Walk is a fund-raiser put on by Rady Children's Hospital-San Diego at SeaWorld.  All donations raised will benefit Rady Children's Hospital.  Team BRICK (Brain Research In Cancer Kids) has designated the Brain Tumor Research fund to receive all of its team member donations.

Last year's walk was fabulous.  We strolled through SeaWorld and saw many animals out with their handlers.  The main part of the walk is a one mile loop through SeaWorld bringing you back to the Start/Finish line.  For those who wish, you can continue walking along Mission Bay for 3 more miles - finishing back at the Start/Finish line.  The entire 4 miles is wheelchair/stroller friendly.  At the Start/Finish line after the walk there are many booths with free food and give-aways.  It's a fun morning.

How can I get involved?

We are encouraging everyone to register as a walker on the team.  100% of the registration fees go to the Brain Tumor Research fund.  If you can't attend the event, then you can sign up as a "virtual walker".  All registered walkers can then go out and get sponsors - thus increasing the total raised for Team BRICK and Brain Tumor Research.  The challenge is for each walker to ask 10 people to sponsor them at $10 each.  There are prizes to be earned for those who raise certain dollar amounts.

If you would like to support our Team BRICK, but do not want to register as a walker, then you can still sponsor someone else who is a walker on the team.  - Instructions below.

BRICK has pledged to raise $30,000 by 2016 and recruiting walkers and sponsors for our team is one of our funding sources.
