When Adam Walleman laces up his shoes on September 4th, he will be hitting the road to raise money for families across the state of Michigan. They are families who live with, or have lost, a firefighter to cancer. While it may seem like just another day for Adam, the man is simply doing what’s been engrained into him for most of his life, the thing that comes naturally for the men and woman in this line of work - serving others.

Our girls are gearing up for volleyball games and the first day of school. My husband is patiently waiting for pre-season football to turn into the real deal, and across the state of Michigan, firefighters and volunteers alike are starting to lace up their boots, stock up on supplies, and overload the public on information and updates for Walk for the Red 140. It is my absolute favorite way to give back to the community! Believe me when I say, no one could do this event quite like our fearless leader Joseph Warne and the rest of the Neighbors United team.
