It warmed my heart when I first heard of the Anthroposophical Prison Outreach Program and Walkathon. I instantly knew it was something I would like to support. To offer people support and hope when they most need it is so important and something I can relate to. I grew up in the system as a child and teenager, but I was so lucky to attend a Steiner School and had the most caring Class Teacher, I refer to her as “My Angel On My Journey “, her name was Birthe and if it wasn’t for her love, caring and guidance I’m not sure where I would be today. She showed me I had a choice in choosing my path in life and with her support I chose a life that’s been good and kind, not a choice all children in the system get a chance to experience. I often think about them. I believe with the right support, love and guidance many people in prison are waiting for a helping hand, an angel that will believe in them just like I had when I was young. I like to pass Birthe’s kindness forward by participating in this walkathon. I will be walking over the weekend in Ann Arbor, MI and my goal is 6 miles.
Thank you for taking the time to read through and know that I appreciate any help you may be able to give, may it be $1 dollar or $1000.
With love and warmth, Mona
This Year’s Walk-a-thon is September 19 – 21 2025
We hope you will join in to Walk, Run, or Cycle!

The teachings of Rudolf Steiner have the ability to transform the way people think, feel and the way they act. Anthroposophical Prison Outreach makes this wisdom available to a poplulation that would not otherwise have access... men and women who are serving time in prison! Our lending library, meditation instruction, correspondence course and twice yearly newsletters support students in their self-development. The courage and determination of our students is inspiring! Plus as you know, when one person changes, it radiates to those around them. Please join in as a walker this year, gather some sponsors and help APO reach our fundraising goal!

Where will this Walk-a-thon be held? It's everywhere! This is a international event with no set course or distance. Walkers, runners, and cyclists can participate whereever they happen to be throughout the weekend. Each volunteer gathers in sponsors and in this way a broad group of individuals sustains APO. Our goal this year is to raise $35,000. This will support over 1,200 people across the US - individuals who are serving time in prison and have taken up a path of inner development through the work of the APO. Thank you for your support, it makes a real difference! Self-control and awareness has taken the place of negativity. It helps the situation so I don't make impulse base decisions that have no substance. Others tell me I'm different and more humble.
