We wish a very special thank you to Global Messengers George Kerson, Jodi Schmeer, Amanda Vito, Taylor Sherman, Joe Best and Patty VanSavage for hosting the Opening Ceremonies, and to the Rainbow Guard for getting everyone in the mood to walk. Also thanks to the teams from training clubs CDS, Heritage Christian Services, Wayne Central, Webster and Yates Greats!
