At the Out of the Darkness Walk, Brian and Janell will share the story of Griffin, whose spirit radiated to everyone he met.

All participants will receive a free scoop of Griffin's Ripples of Hope at the conclusion of the walk. This year's walk is the morning of Saturday, April 25. Register as an individual or as a team: https://afspwalks.donordrive.com/IowaState
