Supporting the People in our Community with 8.25 million yen

Based on the success of the 2017 Chubu Walkathon, and in keeping with this year's theme, "Supporting the People in our Community", we will be distributing 6.75 million yen to charities in the Chubu region and 1.5 million yen to the Chubu Children's Fund.

A large group of people are posing for a picture with a large ceremonial cheque.

James Hedden is a long-time legend in the Chubu Community who has been involved with the Walkathon since he arrived in the area in the early part of the century. James leads very effectively, but he's not one to merely accept the position and receive the accolades.
