Tunnel Of Hope
Tunnel Of Hope Added To Fourth Annual
Warrior Walk Benefiting The Let Hope Live!
Andrew Christian Bryce Foundation
Troy, NY – A Tunnel Of Hope is the latest addition to the
Fourth Annual Warrior Walk scheduled to take place on
Peebles Island on Saturday, May 27th.  The Walk, scheduled
to begin at 11:00 a.m., benefits the “Let Hope Live!” Andrew
Christian Bryce Foundation (a 501c3 non-profit organization).  
Founded by Andrew’s mother, Kyle Bryce, the foundation
supports programs that focus on bringing hope to children
facing cancer and other life threatening illnesses.  The
Tunnel Of Hope was conceived by and a gift from Lori
Borden, Zachary Chirico a 2006 Warrior Walk medal
recipient’s mother.

A portable arc garage she and her husband have transformed
into a brilliant rainbow.  White clouds have been cut out and
painted on stakes with quotes from this year’s warriors and
future warrior families communicate the essence of their
thoughts. Bryce had asked each family to come up with a
quote to incorporate in this year’s campaign to celebrate
what warriors they are. Zachary’s quote, “There is a light at
the end of the tunnel.”  A perfect way to keep hope alive in
all the warriors lives. The clouds will be an essential aspect
of all future walks and Let Hope Live  Warrior events

The 3K Walk will take attendees on a beautiful tour of
Peebles Island’s nature trails. Famous cartoon characters,
Spiderman, Dora and Pooh will be on hand, attendees can
participate in a Life Appreciation Scavenger Hunt seeking
themes of hope. In addition to the Tunnel of Hope, a Bouncy
Bounce, climbing wall and music by Carmine Dio can be
enjoyed by all as well.

A commemorative limited edition tee-shirt will also be
available for purchase for $12-$15, featuring teddy bears
that were submitted by local children in support of the
children who are ill. Included on the shirt as well will be
finalist Carlos Grillo’s drawing, which was chosen to be made
into twelve limited edition teddy bears. Carlos is a student
at Knickerbocker school in Troy, NY.

The Andrew Christian Bryce Foundation aka Andrew’s
Warriors bestows medals on “Warriors,” or children battling
major illness or injury. Seven “Warriors” age 18 months to
sixteen years will be recognized with the Warrior Medallions
at the event. Previous year warriors will be commended
onward with special medallions as well. The foundation
established in 1999 now touches the lives of over 1200
children annually and has risen over 128,000 for pediatric
cancer research.
