Mission Statement
Walk4Good is a growing community of kindness-driven individuals from all walks of life whose primary mission is to inspire and empower people to practice kindness and to pass acts of kindness onto others.

We’ll walk to inspire you.
Christine and her dog Jessie will walk the 2,180 miles of the Appalachian Trail over 6 grueling months to inspire YOU to make a difference in your own life.
It won’t be easy for us, but we know we will have your support.

The Hike Christine and Jessie will depart on June
15, 2012 from the Appalachian Trail's northernmost point, Mount Katahdin, Maine. They will battle black flies, ticks, raging stream crossings, every imaginable kind of weather on their journey, but they will walk continuously until they reach Springer Mountain in Georgia.

Let’s Talk Kindness
![Page 9: Walk4Good High School Presentation](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051818/54b40d6b4a7959236b8b47d1/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Kindness Counts
What does Kindness Mean to You? • Compassion • Caring • Helping others • Being friendly • Smiling • Volunteering • What else?
![Page 10: Walk4Good High School Presentation](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051818/54b40d6b4a7959236b8b47d1/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
What’s Pay-It-Forward?
When you pay-it-forward, you don’t repay the person who did something nice for you. Instead, you do something nice for someone else. For example, if someone changes your tire while you are stranded on the highway, you might pay it forward by shoveling your elderly neighbor’s walkway after a snow has fallen.

How big should my kind act be?
So how big does each good deed need to be?
They can be as big or small as you want, from opening the door for a stranger or feeding a homeless person to volunteering. The aim is simple: show someone in one’s life kindness and feel good about it.

When you dedicate a mile, you make a promise.
Walk4Good needs 2,180 dedications. One for each mile Christine and Jessie walk.
These dedications are free. Anyone may make a dedication in honor of a loved one (living or deceased).
In return for making a free dedication, PAY-IT-FORWARD!

Some dedications
MILE 204 – DEIRDRE LYDON: I dedicate a mile to my grandpa. How will you Pay-It-Forward? I will be supportive of others in their time of need.
MILE 101 – AMY D’AMICO: I would like to make a dedication to our military who are away from their families right now. How will you Pay-It-Forward? I have collected Halloween candy from neighbors and students and will be putting packages together to send overseas to our troops so they can truly enjoy a Halloween as well.

The Power
Let’s do the math: 2,180 miles = 2,180 dedications and 2,180 good deeds that touch thousands of people, who in turn will go out and help others.
That’s the power of Walk4Good.
