Volunteer: Any little bit helps the Walk to run smoothly and it is fun to volunteer and walk! The day of the Walk needs approximately 50-60 volunteers.
The more people who help, the further we can spread the word! FARE is looking for volunteers to assist with next year's FARE Walk in the Triangle area for 2014. Please contact them if you are interested.

Thank you to all who participated and helped this year's FAAN Walk continue to grow and exceed last year with number of participants, Walk teams, and donations raised! Thanks to everyone's efforts, over $35,000 was raised!
As participants finished the walk this year, they had the opportunity to participate in Halloween crafts and games such as Halloween theme tattoos, ring toss, bean bag toss, and coin toss, and win fun prizes! Many children wore their halloween costumes for the duration of the walk and post-walk festivities. Enjoy some fun pictures from this walk!
