Sunshine, stretches, and smiles at our Komazawa Park Walk! We shared Pilates- inspired warm-ups, granola bars, and even mini towel donations- small acts of kindness that made the morning extra special! Everyone left happy, recharged, and proud to be walking for a cause. This light walk event brought people together to move, connect, and reflect on the cause we’re all stepping up for.
