Message from the 2025 Walkathon Committee Chair

Thank you very much for your generous support of the 34th Annual Chubu Walkathon.


Your contributions help transform and support the lives of many individuals through the charitable organizations we assist - including individuals living with illness or disabilities, mothers and children affected by domestic violence, children in need of educational support, etc.

Nao Geisler

Yesterday's event was a tremendous success, offering a meaningful opportunity for many attendees to create memories with their families and friends.

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.
