A Walk in the 6

A Walk in the 6 goes virtual (again) for 2021 

Join us (virtually) as we come together to walk in support of the Kaitlyn O'Brien (K.O) Fund at SickKids. 

How will it work? 

On Sunday, August 8, we will all Walk together, at different locations! We will stay connected virtually through an app called Strava, and we will live-stream on our social media accounts when we start the Walk (Time TBD).  

While we will all have different routes, we will Walk with the same spirit to show support and raise awareness for the K.O Fund. Please remember to practice safe social distancing. 

Step 1: Register online and make a donation to the K.O Fund 

Please click the registration button in the blue bar at top of the page or here, and set-up your account using e-mail or social platforms. You will see Donate and Fundraise as the registration option. You will be given the option to donate at this stage if you wish, and please follow the prompts to complete the registration process. 

Step 2:  Choose your walk location. 

• To help you choose a route near you, we encourage you to use the free app called Strava. 

• For more information on how to track KM's and donations, view instructions here. 

Step 3: Share with your friends and family! 

• You’re doing an amazing thing supporting children’s health in Canada. Let your friends and family know you're participating and encourage them to join in the fun!

• Shout it from the rooftops (or just sharing on Facebook or Twitter will do)! 

Step 4: On Sunday August 8, start your Walk on your route! 

• Make sure to take photos, and post them with the hashtag #walkinthe6
