14. We will be ending in the tearoom in the woods for a photo and there will be a stall there where Karen will be located as she will not be able to do any of the walk this year or in the future. But she will be thrilled to see you all show up for her and the beautiful greyhounds she has given you all over the years! – We will continue to do so – just in a less hands on way for Karen.

Thank you all for your continued support – we appreciate you all and look forward to many more years.
