What is Paul's Walk?

Paul's Walk is an annual 5k walk/run which began in 2006 and takes place at James Madison University in Harrisonburg, VA. The event is held to raise money to benefit the ALSA, and help battle Lou Gehrig's disease. Paul's Walk is co-hosted by Pi Kappa Phi fraternity and Sigma Sigma Sigma sorority. In 2009 we raised over $10,000. Our goal this year is to raise $12,000.
