Walk tall, walk together, and walk the Walk of Hope!

It’s that time of year again – time to throw on your walking shoes, tie up those laces and hit the road for the 2010 Walk of Hope for Schizophrenia.  This May, the SSO will once again proudly launch our annual province-wide fundraising event, which for the past 17 years has brought families, friends and SSO supporters together to raise funds and awareness.  We invite you to join us at the Shortest Walk for the Biggest Cause and help us reach our fundraising goal of $170,000!

New this year - "Little Walks"!
Little Walks provide an opportunity for people who don't have a Walk of Hope in their region to create their own event.  Grab your family and friends, raise pledges and do your own one hour Walk of Hope in your city!  You can register and fundraise online or print a hard copy of our pledge form and raise funds offline.  Click on "Little Walks" to register your own community event today!
