Many many thanks to those who came out for the Inaugural Nick Castellanos Memorial Walk! What a beautiful day for a remarkable event! We had over 200 walkers stroll the beach to remember Nick! Such a moving testament to a remarkable young man! The walk was kicked off by Life Guard/Peace Officer Darby Fultz who said a few words about Nick, the Foundation and the Silver Strand State Beach Junior Life Guard Program. The walkers then began a 1 1/2 mile trek south from the main lifeguard tower south towards Imperial Beach. At the turn around point, the walkers were treated to a much needed water break on this very hot day. They also had the opportunity to take a moment to reflect and jot down a favorite memory of Nick and place it in a memory box. Upon the walkers' return, they were treated to a delicious BBQ dinner catered by the fabulous Bekker's Catering. What an amazing way to remember Nick. We are so grateful to be part of this community which is so very loving and supportive. Thank you and see you next year!
