& A
Q:
Where will the marchers sleep?
A: Sleeping accommodations will be provided according to the
size of the group
marching each week. Options include RVs, camping out, staying
in churches, schools or community centers.
Q: How many walkers
are we looking to have?
A: Full-time: 12-13 walkers.
Part-time: hundreds.
Q: What will the marchers
eat?
A: The meals provided will be based on advice given to us by
professional
nutritionists. These meals will ensure that all walkers are
getting the proper nutrients to stay healthy and energized for
their duration of the march.
The diet will be strict and must be followed by all participants
(outside food will not be allowed).
Q: What should the marchers
bring with them?
A: Once a marcher is confirmed, we will be providing her or
him with a list of items
they should bring with them to the march. These items will include
strictly the bare necessities. Marchers will not be allowed
to bring large suitcases or any unnecessary luxury items.
Q: What will the marchers
do for entertainment?
A: Obviously, the mood of this march will not be celebratory—we
are here to show
solidarity with the 1.5 million victims of the Armenian Genocide.
Nevertheless,
we do not want this to be a boring experience for anyone involved.
We have some fun things in store along the way.
Q: What if someone gets
sick or injured?
A: There will be professionally trained Emergency Medical Technicians
(EMTs)
accompanying the march every step of the way
Q: Will transportation
be provided up to the march?
A: There will be vans and carpools about once a day scheduled
to bring people up to
the march.
Q: How many miles per
day will the marchers walk?
A: Marchers will walk an average of 12-14 miles a day.
Q:
Will there be any sort of security provided for the march?
A: We will be calling all sheriff and police departments along
the route and
requesting escorts. We will also have marchers designated as
monitors to keep the
walk going safe and smoothly.
