Walking for Awareness
Since 2009, Jeana Moore has walked thousands of miles across the United States and Europe, stopping in communities to share Jada's story and encourage people to learn about joining the official donor registry where they live.
Her first walk covered 4,434 miles across America over 15 months, from the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center in Seattle to New York City (2009 to 2011). Walking an average of 12 miles a day, she stopped in communities large and small to share Jada's story and help run donor registration drives. Her Sea-to-Sea walk through Europe in 2012 took 137 days and covered over 1,000 miles through Germany, Switzerland and Italy, from the Baltic Sea to the Adriatic, to thank the Europeans who had given her granddaughter a second chance at life.
The journeys below: The Marrow Walk, Steps to Marrow 4 (2024 Walk of Gratitude) and Steps to Marrow 3 (2020 Arizona Walk). Each card opens its own page.

A coffee counter, a church foyer, a break room, a race table. Every sheet carries the code that opens Jeana’s walk, and a number to text for anyone who would rather not scan — no app, no wifi, nothing to hand back.Every sheet carries the code that opens Jeana’s walk — nothing to install, nothing to hand back. The number to text printed beside it is for joining NMDP, which registers people who live in the U.S., its territories and the freely associated states.
