FAQs

 
Clearfield Jefferson Walk for Suicide Prevention & Awareness

 

                What should I wear?                                                      Comfortable walking shoes are a must.  Do NOT wear new

                                                                                                                shoes.  Break them in prior to the event.  Also wear layered

                                                                                                                 clothing that you can remove or add layers as you walk to

                                                                                                                be comfortable.

 

What if it rains on Walk day?                                     We certainly hope it will not rain for our event.  If it does, the

                                                                                                                walk will still take place.  If the weather is not cooperative we

                                                                                                                will alter our course however all walkers will be credited for

                                                                                                                the entire distance.
