100 Kilometer Tribute Set for Thanksgiving Weekend
Glendale, CA - The Armenian Hikers Association Los Angeles Chapter,
Armenian Hiking Society, and Armenian Cycling Association are
organizing a 100 Kilometer (62.14 miles) Tribute walk and ride on the
occasion of the Armenian Genocide centennial.
The four-day walk through the Angeles National Forest and Los Angeles
basin will honor the memory of the 1.5 million martyrs by humbly
replicating a small aspect of their ordeal, long distances walked.
Participants may walk the entire distance individually or as a team.
Cyclists will ride on the sunday of Thanksgiving weekend.
Walkers and riders will gather sponsors and the funds raised will be
used to support Genocide related projects, soon to be announced.
Robert Assarian, lead AHA organizer and originator of the project
thinks, `We're going to remember the 100 years of denial and
dispossession by walking 100 kilometers. This will be a tribute to
our perseverance and help lay a foundation for our future. Through
our efforts, we will raise funds to work on remedying the massive
injustice committed against our forefathers and our nation.'

Tribute is encouraged to check on Facebook
