We look forward to seeing you at the next walk, on June 6, 2009!

The 5K walk (3.1 miles) will begin and end at Memorial Park in Nashville, Illinois, fifty miles east of St. Louis. (This is a new starting location.)

The start time is 7:30 a.m. on June 7, 2008.

The entry fee is $20.00. Everyone who is pre-entered will receive a T-shirt. Kids walk for free with a parent who is walking ($10.00 for the shirt). Shirts for those attending the walk in Nashville will be distributed prior to the walk.

This isn't a race or a timed walk. We just want the participants (both human and canine) to have a great walk and a wonderful time together.

If you're unable to attend our walk in Nashville, please consider walking in Jeanenne's honor in your own town on June 7. We will mail your shirt so you can wear it in honor of Jeanenne during your walk.

The fee for "Web walkers" is $20.00 for each T-shirt, plus $5.00 for shipping.

A raffle and silent auction are being offered in conjunction with the 2008 walk.

The Jeanenne Thompson Foundation will also be participating in the 150th Anniversary of the Hofbraufest in Hoyleton, IL on Saturday, July 12, 2008. You're welcome to join us!
