Citizens of Headwaters for Active Transportation Team

The father of a friend mine died a couple of years ago. One of his granddaughters spoke at the memorial service. She said that among the things she'd loved about her grandfather, David Graham from Inglewood, was that he'd often ask her: "So what have you done today to make the world a better place?" I've since often thought about that myself. What have I done today to make the world a better place?
If you want to do something to make the world a better place, how about combining your love of walking and/or your wanting to walk more with a good cause. There are quite a number of charity walks and several of them encourage you to bring along a four-legged friend.
Most of the fund-raising walks listed are annual events, so if you missed it this year, try again next year.
Here are a just few options:
