And so we were ecstatic that it was attended by a larger-than-expected number of people from several locations.<\/p>\n<p>Though we will not be together physically, we will walk or run together in spirit to raise the funds JSS needs to serve as many people in our community as possible. Won\u2019t you join us?<\/p>\n<p>This year as well, we will set a walking time \u2013 rather than a distance &#8211; of one hour, during which each participant can walk or run at their own pace and in a place of their choice.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, a total of 33 people participated in this event, and we covered a total distance of 166.51 km. Let&#8217;s break that record together this year!<\/p>\n<p>The event will begin with a ZOOM session to meet and connect with other participants. Several JSS staff and board members, including our counselors, will all participate.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Time Table<\/h2>\n<p>10:00am \uff5e 10:30am\u00a0 ZOOM\u00a0 Pre-walk chat<\/p>\n<p>10:30am \uff5e 11:30am\u00a0 Walk\/Run<\/p>\n<p>11:30am \uff5e 12pm\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 ZOOM\u00a0 Post walk celebration<\/p>\n<h2>How to register?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Please click here to register using the form.\u3000<\/strong>You can also reach us by email or phone to register.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/forms.office.com\/pages\/responsepage.aspx?id=CUnwHJbkvUS0MOUq7WZSDQi9pIVFpIxLuxq28gItZqpUODZSU0NMRDFXT1FIWURYUk1XN1g1WEFMUC4u\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13920 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/jss.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Registration-Button-EN.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"221\" height=\"104\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Please send your completed <a href=\"https:\/\/jss.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/JSS-Challenge_Pledge-sheet.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pledge sheet<\/a> to the JSS with donor names and pledge amounts.<br \/>\nIf you are planning to join the virtual calls via Zoom (pre-walk chat: 10:00 -10:30am and \/ or post walk celebration 11:30am -12pm), please call JSS at 416-385-9200 or send an email to <a href=\"mailto:info@jss.ca\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">info@jss.ca<\/a> in advance.
