Here is what some volunteers, ambassadors, donors and corporate sponsors have said about why they take part in the World Partnership Walk:

“The World Partnership Walk is an opportunity for us to demonstrate our support for the global fight against poverty”

“I walk because I’m grateful for everything I have”

“I walk because I can bring my whole family out and impart on my kids the value of making a difference while having fun”

“I walk because 100 percent of proceeds go directly to the people and programs that need it”

"I Walk because I believe in Canada and its ability to foster hope for those in the poorest parts of the world!"
