Take a walk and help fight a rare disease

We are bombarded with information and requests for our time and money. Especially now, just weeks before important presidential elections, we are stressed, confused and in need to refocus.

On Oct. 1, in our area, there are multiple events that can entertain, inform and contribute to your health. The most beautiful season of the year and one of the most amazing areas in this country invite us all outdoors.

The Dahlgren Railroad Heritage Trail in King George County has an event at 1 p.m. that day that promises to do all that, plus some more. The Langa family invites you to the second ever Big Walk on Wilson’s.

This is an event for the whole family. Pick your walking distance: 1 mile, 5k or 10k, and if you get inspired, feel free to run instead! The trail is wheelchair/handicap accessible for about the first half mile.

We will have lots of special activities planned including fun games for kids of all ages and a railroad handcar. A DJ will provide music throughout the event. You can also register your dogs (on a leash please) for a walk on the trail and to play in a doggy obstacle course.
