WEAR A TSHIRT FOR SOMEONE YOU ARE WALKING FOR: This year, I am participating in a walk to honor and show my love for someone special in my life. I am filled with pride as I embark on this journey today, wearing a t-shirt that symbolizes my dedication and support. The person I am walking for holds a special place in my heart, and this act of walking is a way for me to express my care and affection for them. As I take each step, I am reminded of the love and bond we share, and I am determined to walk with all my heart for this beloved individual.
