I'm Jake Newman. I am a junior at Mater Dei High School, but live in Hermosa Beach. I have been participating in the Skechers Pier to Pier Friendship walk since I was a toddler. I'll be walking this year to make a difference! This important event is organized to raise funds for public education, national college scholarships, and children with special needs. Your support will help play a huge part in providing friendship and inclusion for our kids with varying abilities, as well as supporting critical education programs in our public schools.

I want to do as much as I can for education and people with special needs. I hope you will consider helping the cause by making a donation today! If you'd like, you also can join me for an inspiring walk with friends at the beach. Together we can make a huge difference in the lives of children.

Thank you!
