Help the Peoria Tri-County Team win the challenge and keep the rights to the coveted Moon Walk Walking Stick Trophy! As the founder of Moon Walk, PALM has issued a "Double or Nothing" challenge to the Quad Cities and Champaign/Urbana. The community that completes two round-trips to the Moon (954,800 miles) first will earn the right to claim the Moon Walk Walking Stick trophy. With this aggressive challenge, the Peoria Tri-County Team will need to recruit more walkers than ever!
