WHY JAY IS WALKING: Jay has worked in Child Welfare for over 20 years, including times with the Department of Children's Services, as a service provider to families with Camelot Care Centers, and also as a Youth Minister. Throughout these years, he has seen the devastation brought on to families that have or are experiencing domestic violence. He is walking to bring a light to the problem and help raise money for Iva's Place as a way to help break the cycle of abuse. In many cases, the cycle is generational, so it is imperative to provide a safe place for families to break away from that abuse and ot have support that will enable change that will carry on for children now and in the future. 

​

WHY SHOULD YOU VOTE FOR JAY AS YOUR 2023 MR. HUNK IN HEELS?  Well first of all, I am dieting so I can be more "Hunky" and less "Chunky" in my heels so that should be enough to get me tons of votes. Secondly, I am probably going to need physical therapy after walking in the heels I have chosen. Lastly, a vote for me is a vote for all the over 50 crowd still out there doing challenging adventures.
