Message from the 2022 Walkathon Committee Chair

Dear Walkathon Supporters,


Thank you for your support of the 31st Annual Chubu Walkathon. Your generosity will create change in the people's lives supported by the many charities to which we provide funding and from sponsorship and donations collected during the event.


We support a variety of organizations that work with children and adults, related to health issues, vocational support, education support and more. In these continuing difficult economic times, we are especially sure that all of your support will significantly impact those affected. We could not thank you enough. 

Finally being able to hold this event at Meijo Park we had a great success [on May 22nd] and many of us created great memories with our friends and families.

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.
