Unique Muskoka August

Township. Walking on consecutive days, the
goal is to complete the walk in Port Severn
nine days later on Tuesday, Aug. 16.
Those who want to show their support can
make a donation, join her on the walk, use
social media to share Ward’s progress or
recruit a sponsor. For those who want to join
in, the time and location of each day’s start
will be posted, along with photos and facts of
the day, that participants can share with
friends and family.
Last year over 50 participants covered 197
kilometres in nine days and raised $18,000
in support of YWCA Muskoka’s programs.
YWalk connects Muskoka’s communities in a
common purpose and raises funds so that
YWCA Muskoka can continue to serve 44
different locations throughout Muskoka to
help over 1,600 people whose lives are
affected by domestic abuse, unemployment,
lack of housing, transportation and poverty.
