Ronald McDonald House of the Greater Hudson Valley
Walk over the Hudson
SUNDAY, MAY 6, 2018
1 pm - 4 pm
The Walk will be held Rain or Shine.
Join us as we Walk Over the Hudson on the Walkway! The Walkway Over the Hudson State Historic Park is the world’s longest elevated pedestrian bridge and spans 1.28 miles over the Hudson River from Poughkeepsie to Highland. We will meet on the Poughkeepsie side, walk across the bridge and back (approximately 2.5 miles round trip). This will be a wonderful day to be outside and enjoy the amazing views from above the Hudson River.
Please help us keep families together and close to the care and resources they need when their child is hospitalized due to serious illness or traumatic injury.
Create a team! Invite your family, friends and co-workers to walk with you! Even if you can't join us that day, you can still support us and be a virtual walker.
WALK WITH OUR GRAND MARSHALL
Marlo Popi Doherty, 2 years old (from Lagrangeville, NY)
Marlo was born 4 months premature at 24 weeks. At just over a pound this incredible little girl, now turning two years old, put in the fight of her life to be with us and share her amazing journey. During her 170 day stay in the NICU, her family stayed at the Ronald McDonald House of the Greater Hudson Valley, which gave them the opportunity to be at their daughter's bedside every day and at a moment's notice. Please join Marlo in raising money to help other families in their time of need.
