What if I just want to make a donation but not walk? I see nothing on your home page that tells me how to do that. (I might be missing the obvious)
when you open the Lustgarten walk page, there is a button for donateLustgarten Albany Walk
Hi. Click on the “register” menu item. It will take you to a page where you have all the choices to register – as yourself, to support a walker, to join a team.
Thanks.
