Stride to Turn the Tide is a national walk to raise awareness and funds for the Stephen Lewis Foundation�s Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign. In this third annual event, almost all of the 240 Grandmothers Groups across Canada are walking with their family and friends with the goal of raising $1 million dollars. In their pledge of solidarity for their African sisters, Canadian grandmothers have committed that, �We will not rest until they can rest.� Stride to Turn the Tide is a powerful expression of that bond � with every footstep; grandmothers across Canada are showing their support and profound respect for Africa�s grandmothers and the children in their care.

The Glacier Grannies invite you to walk, stroll, roll around the airpark; walk as little or as much as you can. Bring your friends, family, grandkids, walking shoes, water bottle, and an umbrella if necessary. Donate at registration or on-line at www.glaciergrannies.org.
