In lieu of a sweet 16th birthday celebration a few years ago, Sayali Yoder opted to invite friends and family to join her in participating in the Brittany’s Hope Walk of Love Cross Country 5K and Fun Walk. Sayali’s parents received one of the very first adoption grants awarded by Brittany’s Hope, an Elizabethtown-based nonprofit committed to aiding orphans in crisis around the world. Born without hands and feet, Sayali went through more than 26 surgeries and lived in an orphanage until being adopted at age 3. Today, she is determined to give back to the organization that she says helped her to become who she is.
Sayali faithfully trained for the 5K by taking daily walks with her boxer, Athena, and set a fundraising goal of $1,000 - only to surpass that goal by raising more than $5,000. The race itself proved to be a challenge, as her prostheses are not designed for far distances or bumpy terrain, but she crossed the finish line. Now a college sophomore majoring in video production, Sayali plans to once again participate in the Brittany’s Hope Walk of Love Cross Country 5K and raise funds to help children in need. This year’s Walk of Love Cross Country 5K and Fun Walk is set to take place on Saturday, Sept. 14, at Stone Gables Estate, 1 Hollinger Lane, Elizabethtown. The family-friendly event will include a 5K, a fun walk, pony rides, an inflatable obstacle course for children, games and activities, giveaways, and food. See Walk Of Love pg 4

Attendees should dress in all black for the bringyour-own-picnic fundraising event.
Cruising along the Susquehanna River in a pontoon boat while hearing about the history of the area was an activity the team at Susquehanna National Heritage Area (SNHA) wanted to offer to locals - and visitors - to make sure more people had a chance to enjoy all that the river has to offer. On July 13, SNHA launched its pilot season of River Discovery Boat Tours with resounding success. Paul Nevin, manager of Zimmerman Center for Heritage, which is operated by SNHA, said that the tours were so popular that within hours of the first See Boat Tours pg 3
