The Ghost Walkers represent those who have walked before us...for our survival. Also to represent the walkers of 2011, who will walk in memory of relatives, who have passed from this devastating disease.  To bring us hope for a change to a healthy lifestyle...

The circle design is the four directions or the colors of humankind. The walk will have representation from the 4 directions, who will be taking part of this historic walk. Also pictured is the 3 sisters called; sustainers of life, this part of the circle...we call "Our Way of Life"
