How do I go about Starting this walk??? What do I need to do to begin? Should I send out flyers? please give me some advice....

Answer 1

You first want to establish the walk as a charitable, and reputiable cause (so people do not think you are taking money) Most communities have a development corporation which you can ask to help with organizing a promoting, a school or church could help you. Ask for Sponsorships and Pledges with a goal in mind

Answer 2

Walk into the nearest newspaper. Don't phone or email.  Tell them that you are serious.  Will they promote your walk?

THen to 1 of the tv stations and agree to appear on the local morning show.  Have a story to tell about your friend or bring your friend.

This could turn out to save a lot of lives. /
