A winter walk raises funds for tsunami relief

The Couch Potato Fitness Club is urging individuals to get up off the couch, put on their walking shoes and help raise money for tsunami relief.

Sisters Julia Mundorff and Chrisa Yaeger, who started the Couch Potato Fitness Club, have organized the walk as a way for individuals to "show support", compassion and make a difference in the lives of those who've suffered the tsunami's damage."

The walk will be held in the village of Brockport, starting and ending at the Galley Restaurant on Market Street. The route will be approximately 1.5 miles long and the route will be salted and cleared. Mundorff advises walkers to dress appropriately for the weather.

Registration for the walk begins at 10:15 a.m. on Saturday, March 19, walking begins at 11 a.m. All proceeds from registration fees and donations will be given to Habitat for Humanity Disaster Relief Fund. There will also be a "loose change drop off site" for those who wish to donate but cannot participate in the walk. Registration fees are: $10 individuals; $8 students (with ID) and seniors (65 or older); $35 for a family of four to six individuals; $6 per person for teams of six or more; free for children six years old and younger. Pre-registration is not required.
