Legacy Walk Recap
O
n June 4, more than 1,800 walkers joined us at the National WWI Museum and Memorial in downtown Kansas City. Virtual participants also joined event activities from Spain, Florida, Oklahoma, Indiana, Michigan, North Carolina and Texas, just to name a few. Virtual participants shared photos and videos of how their families spread the #GiveHopeShareLife message. We were so honored to read and share these stories throughout the day. The Tribute Trail path surrounding the northern lawn of the Memorial honored donors and displayed notes of gratitude from recipients from across our entire Missouri and Kansas region. Our in-person participants were also able to enjoy live music on the lawn, dinner from local food trucks and educational booths sharing the importance of organ, eye, and tissue donation. We thank everyone who stuck with us through the unpredictable weather. We were rewarded with a beautiful night, topped off with a stunning Kansas City skyline lit green in celebration of the gift of life. We are incredibly grateful to the Downtown Council of Kansas City who helped us light the city green in support of this year’s Donate Life Legacy Walk. (Continued on page 2)
