The 2013 Meals on Wheels Walkathon was a great success! Over 500 participants raised nearly $75,000 for the Meals on Wheels Program on Saturday, May 4th at the Franklin County Technical School track, all while having fun in the sun. Live performers entertained the walkers as they walked, ran, and even biked around the track. Seen here are two walkers from Team Dot.
