For this year's event we're asking participants to send photos/video of their journey (by sending pictures, you give permission for their image/video to be posted on Thrive's social media platforms). Of course, we also hope that participants will post about the event to their own personal social media platforms using the hashtags: #walkofftheturkey, #wottforthrive, and #virtualfundraiser  

We hope you will also purchase a “Hamilton is Thriving” t-shirt to wear on event day! Photos/video clips with t-shirt wearers will be another way to 'link us all together' during the event even though we will be apart.
