Marian is Supporting America's Walking Club

Hello all, my name is Marian DeVaul. I have been associated with the AVA for over 9 years. I’m excited to announce that I am supporting AVA: America’s Walking Club during the Big Give 2026 by taking on the role of a fundraising champion. My fundraising will help America’s Walking Club continue its mission of promoting health and wellness through noncompetitive sporting events. I’m supporting the Big Give 2026 because I believe walking is the perfect exercise.  It helps in lowering my blood pressure, blood sugar levels, and helps alleviate stress.  Walking is cheap, easy and accessible to everyone. Beyond the obvious physical benefits, walking leads to increased levels of happiness, energy, confidence and self-worth. Walking helps to improve sleep quality and intellectual performance while alleviating stress and anxiety. Most importantly, walking is fun!. Please consider donating to my fundraiser and Happy Trails!!
