Union Cities Mobilizer's 200-mi UK Walk to Raise Funds for CSA's Emergency Assistance Fund

(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)Metro Washington Council (MWC) Union Cities Mobilizer Chris Garlock (right) and his wife Lisa are walking 200 miles across England next month to celebrate their 30th wedding anniversary and are also raising money for the MWC Community Services Agency's Emergency Assistance Fund, which assists hundreds of DC-area families annually with emergency financial needs. Donate what you can -- .25/mile = $50, .50/mi = $100, $1/mi = $200 -- or whatever amount you like, "it will go to help prevent utility cut-offs and evictions, provide needed prescriptions, transportation so members can keep working, food, child care and other needs," says CSA Executive Director Kathleen McKirchy. The Coast to Coast Walk is a 200-mile footpath in Northern England that passes through the Lake District, Yorkshire Dales, and North York Moors National Parks. - photo: Garlock on a training walk earlier this month on the Seneca Creek Greenway Trail; photo by Lisa Garlock
