CLEARLAKE, Calif. – The Clearlake VA Clinic will host its sixth annual VA2K Walk and Roll on Wednesday, May 18, at noon in back of the clinic, located at 15145 Lakeshore Drive.
Preregistration is not required. Anyone interested in participating should arrive by 11:40 a.m.
The VA2K Walk and Roll is dedicated to supporting homeless veterans and encouraging healthy activity. It is free and open to the community, veterans, and VA staff.
Participants are encouraged (though not required) to bring new socks or canned goods to the event to be donated to local homeless veterans.
“Healthy employees are happy workers,” says Kirk Andrus, MD, clinic medical director. “VA2K is a great way for our staff to take a few minutes out of their day to improve their personal health, get some exercise and help support homeless veterans.”
The Clearlake VA clinic is proud to participate in this event, joining with 200 other VA medical centers and VA clinics across the country.
Last year, more than $325,000 in clothing was collected nationwide for homeless veterans.
After the walk, there will be a “meet and greet” at the clinic.
