Walk For a Friend ... With a Friend ... Meet New Friends
AK and Deb are now "super fans" of Charity Miles and decided to meet in New York City to coordinate an event. Their goal is to meet Gene Gurkoff, IRL (in real life) and to walk as many miles as possible on behalf of their friends, loved ones and their charities. Their friend Roz Shafer (pictured above) inspired this event.

We have plotted our route to include some historical sites and photo opportunities. It is approximately 6.5 miles but you can detour at any time.
