    Mason County, WA

    The planned 8.7-mile stage reaches Kamilche, followed by two walking days to the Capitol. Little Skookum Inlet is part of the area’s working-waterfront context.

The flyer: STOP BLOOD CANCER set in tall letters over a dark plum page, a quote, and a QR code beside the words TEXT JADA TO 61474.One standing face of the table tent: the same headline and quote on the left, a large QR code on the right.

Take it off the screen

Print it. Put it where people already stand.

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.

Everything else for running a drive
